Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $235$

An Easter Egg Problem

I have an easter egg exactly $3$ inches in length, and $3$ other eggs all similar in shape,

having together the same contents as the large egg.

Can you tell me the exact measurements for the lengths of the three smaller ones?
