Look at 3 b), I don't really understand how to figure that out so I'd really appreciate if someone could explain to me in steps on how you would figure it out

You are told that the cylinders are stacked "3 by 3 by 3" in each box so there are 27 cylinders in a box. Each box is 250,047 cubic centimeters. If 27 cylinders are to fit in there, what is the largest possible size of each cylinder?
