To make it simple, I'll say the bottle is a cube
\n" ); document.write( "with volume \"+243+\" ml3
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Each side of this cube is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%5E3+=+243+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+6.24025+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Make the side 3 times smaller
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%2F3+=+2.080084+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the volume of the new cube
\n" ); document.write( "with this side length
\n" ); document.write( "\"+V+=+2.080084%5E3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+V+=+9+\" ml3 is the new volume
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Another way to arrive at this is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s%5E3+=+243+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+s%2F3+%29%5E3+=+s%5E3%2F27+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is the new volume with \"+s%2F3+\" side length
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"+s%5E3+=+243+\", I can say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+s%2F3+%29%5E3+=+243%2F27+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28s%2F3+%29%5E3+=9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The new volume is \"+9+\" ml3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
