Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Ordinary sized has a height
\n" ); document.write( "of 15 cm and a volume of 280 cm^3
\n" ); document.write( "Family sized has volume of 750 cm^3
\n" ); document.write( "We have the two volumes which
\n" ); document.write( "we use as a ratio.
\n" ); document.write( "As we are trying to find the
\n" ); document.write( "larger bottle's height we use
\n" ); document.write( "the ratio 750/280
\n" ); document.write( "We then cube root the ratio.
\n" ); document.write( "3√750/280
\n" ); document.write( "= 1.388783
\n" ); document.write( "Then we multiply the small
\n" ); document.write( "bottles height by 1.388783
\n" ); document.write( "15 cm x 1.388783
\n" ); document.write( "= 20.8 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:-)
\n" ); document.write( "
