by 1.5 or 2.5 times?
The red exercise ball is 1.5 times larger in diameter than the blue exercise ball.

This can be calculated by dividing the diameter of the red exercise ball by the diameter of the blue exercise ball: 76 cm / 56 cm = 1.36.

Therefore, the red exercise ball is 1.36 times larger, which is approximately 1.5 times larger.
