Small pipes matching one large pipe

Middle school · ●○○○○ 10 pts

A pipe with inside diameter 10′′10'' is to carry water from a reservoir to a small town in an arid land. Neglecting the friction and turbulence of the water against the inside of the pipes, what is the minimum number of 2′′2''-inside-diameter pipes of the same length needed to carry the same volume of water to the arid town?
