Containers A bottle that is 10 in. high holds 34 oz of milk. The sandwich shop shown below is shaped like a milk bottle. To the nearest thousand ounces how much milk could the building hold?
The scale factor of the bottles is 1 : 48.

The ratio of their volumes, and hence the ratio of their capacities, is
The milk-bottle building could hold about 3,760,000 oz.
