You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First off, it's dimensions.
Typically spelling doesn't count but you were way off.

Now for a box,
V%5B1%5D=L%2AW%2AH
If we halve the dimensions,
V%5B2%5D=%28L%2F2%29%2A%28W%2F2%29%2A%28H%2F2%29%0D%0A%7B%7B%7BV%5B2%5D=%28L%2AW%2AH%29%2F8
V%5B2%5D=V%5B1%5D%2F8
The new volume is 1%2F8 of the original volume.
