Volumes are in proportion and you can form a proportion equation for calories and volume.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The small container with 140 calories:
\n" ); document.write( "volume is \"h%2Api%2A1%5E2=highlight_green%28h%2Api%29\", because radius is 1 inch.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Large container with the same kind of icecream has radius 6 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "The linear dimensions are also in constant ratio between small and large container.
\n" ); document.write( "That is not needed here.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"smallRadius%2FsmallCalories=largeRadius%2FlargeCalories\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F140=3%2FL\", using L for the calories of ice cream in the Large container.
\n" ); document.write( "\"L%2F3=140%2F1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=3%2A140\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28L=420%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
