Let the radius of Earth be r units.
Earth's volume = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi (r^3)\)
Radius of Jupiter = 11r
∴ Volume of Jupiter = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi {(11r)^3}\) = \(1331(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3)\)
∴ \(\frac{Volume \;of \; Jupiter}{Volume \;of \;Earth} \) = \(\frac{1331(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}\) = 1331
