. Acme Burgers sells a large pop which is 14 oz and comes in a 8" high container. The small pop comes

in a 6" high container which is the same shape as the small pop container. How much does the small
container hold?

Answer:

10.5 oz

Explanation:

The large pop and container are similar to the small pop and container.

Thus, we can use proportions to find how much the small container can hold, letting x represent the volume of the small container:


(14)/(8)=(x)/(6)\\ 8x=84\\ x=21/2=10.5
