The volume of earth is 6.7 times that of mars, find the diameter of mars.
------------------
Volume is a function of the cube of the diameter.
eg, dia*2 --> volume*2^3 = volume*8
=============
You didn't give Earth's diameter, I'll use 8000 miles.
---
Mars' diameter = 8000%2Froot%283%2C6.7%29
=~ 4244 miles
