Since the sides of the second box are 1/3 the length of the sides of the first box, the volume of the second box will be (1/3)^3 = 1/27 times the volume of the first box.
Therefore, the volume of the second box is 1/27 times the volume of the first box.
In other words, the two volumes are related as follows: The volume of the second box is 1/27 times the volume of the first box.
Dave made two boxes the sides of the second box of each 1/3 other sides of the first box. How are the volumes of the two boxes related?
