I need help on this question. it makes no sense
the smaller tank in the photograph has a volume of 300m3. the larger tank has a capacity of 1200m3.
how many times longer will it take to fill the larger tank than the smaller tank?
how many times greater is the radius in the larger tank than the small tank.
this was all the information given to me ^^

4 times the volume, so 4 times as long to fill
If the tanks have the same height, then since area scales in two dimensions, the radius is √4 = 2 times as big
But if the tanks are similar (that is, the height is in the same ratio as the radii) then the radius is ∛4 times as big.
