if it is magnified by 6, 3*6 =18

In order to answer this question, you must recognize the relation between length and volume. The units of volume are (length)^3, thus, in order to find the ratio of volumes, you simply take the factor change of length, 6, and cube it. Thus, the ratio of volumes will be 36.
