Problem
The number of circular pipes with an inside diameter of 
inch which will carry the same amount of water as a pipe with an inside diameter of 
inches is:
Solution
It must be assumed that the pipes have an equal height.
A circular pipe with diameter 1 inch and height h has a volume of 
. A pipe with diameter 6 inches and height h has volume 
. To find how many 1-pipes fit in a 6-pipe, we divide:
