The Easypac Soup Company produces small cylindrical tins of radius 3cm, and similar large tins of radius 5cm. If a small tin contains 243ml of soup, how much does a large tin contain?

please show me the steps !
thanks, marmar

This question isn't answerable without knowing the height of the larger can. Are the heights in the same proportion as the radii, or do the cans have the same height, or are their heights unrelated?

If heights of the tins are same the answer should be 675 ml.

9/25 = 243/x

x= 27 x 25 = 675 ml
