Answer:


(1)/(27)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the small sphere radius is x1.

therefore the large sphere radius is 3x1

As we know that volume of sphere=
(4)/(3) \pi \ r^(3)

So ,

Volume of the small sphere

=
(4)/(3)\pi \ x1^(3)

also Volume of the large sphere

=
(4)/(3)\pi \ 3x1^(3)


(volume\ of\ small\ sphere)/(volume\ of\ large\ sphere) \ =\ ((4)/(3)\ \pi\ x1^(3) )/((4)/(3)\ \pi\ 3x1^(3) )

On solving the equation

volume of large sphere=27 * volume of small sphere

Hence
(1)/(27) \ times\ volume\ of\ small\ sphere\ is\ smaller\ then\ the\ larger\ sphere
