Answer:
Adding 1/4 each time
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4+1/4=1/2
1/2+1/4=3/4
3/4+1/4=1
Yes scale factor means ratio. The height of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in ratio form is 8:24 which simplifies to 1:3. The ratio of its areas is the scale factor squared, so 1^2:3^2=1:9. Since the surface area of the smaller pyramid is 124, the surface area of the larger pyramid must be 124x9. The ratio of volumes is the scale factor cubed, so 1^3:3^3=1:27. If the volume of the larger pyramid is 648, then the volume of the smaller pyramid is 1/27 of that, which equals 24.
