The ratio of corresponding linear measures of two similar cones is 3 to 4. The smaller cone has a volume of about 18 inches. Find the volume of of the larger cone, and round the answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

That ratio means that if radius and height for the smaller cone is r and h, then for the larger cone, they are (4/3)r and (4/3)h.

VOLUME, SMALL CONE
, cubic inches

VOLUME, LARGE CONE

To go from the small cone volume to the large cone volume, multiply the small cone's volume by .
