Answer:
(1)/(64)^(th)

Explanation:

Given

Suppose V is the original volume of cone having r as radius and h as height

If we multiply all the linear dimensions of ac one by
(1)/(4)^(th)

the
r'=(r)/(4)


h'=(h)/(4)

Therefore new volume is


V'=(1)/(3)\pi r'^2h'


V'=(1)/(3)\pi ((r)/(4))^2((h)/(4))


V'=(1)/(64)* (1)/(3)\pi r^2h


V'=(V)/(64)

So new volume becomes
(1)/(64)^(th) of the original one
