You can put this solution on YOUR website! To make it simple, I'll say the bottle is a cube
with volume ml3
-----------------------
Each side of this cube is:
-------------------------
Make the side 3 times smaller
--------------------
Find the volume of the new cube
with this side length ml3 is the new volume
-----------------------------------
Another way to arrive at this is:
This is the new volume with side length
Since , I can say:
The new volume is ml3
