A water ride at a local water park has a ride shaped like a cone that acts like a funnel whereby guests swirl around the cone until they drop through its center. There is one ride for adults and a similar, smaller version for children. If the adult ride has a radius of 25 feet and the child ride has a radius of 10 feet, what is the ratio between the volumes of each ride?

The ratio of radii        adult:child 25:10  or 5:2

then volumes is  (5:2)^3 = 125:8
