Lets assume the fruit to be spherical in shape.

So, volume of seed = (4/3) (pi) (r^3)

volume of fruit = (4/3) (pi) ((2r)^3)

(volume of seed/volume of fruit) = (1/8)

So, the general formula is:

8*(volume of seed) = 1*(volume of fruit)

I think I am right. If not, pardon me.

RE: If the size of the fruit is two times the size of ...

seed diameter : 2x

fruit diameter : 4x (because the size of fruit is two times the size of the seed)

each radius is x 2x

seed volume : 3/4*pi*x^3

fruit volume : 3/4*pi*(2x)^3

seed volume : fruit volume x : 8x

so general equation is 8(seed volume) (fruit volume)
