Answer:

The new volume is 8 times smaller than the original volume

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x ----> the volume of the reduced sphere

y ----> the volume of the original sphere

so

z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

we have

z=1/2 ----> scale factor

substitute

(1/2)^{3}=\frac{x}{y}

(1/8)=\frac{x}{y}

x=\frac{y}{8}

therefore

The new volume is 8 times smaller than the original volume

Verify

The volume of the original sphere is

r=18/2=9\ cm ---> the radius is half the diameter

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (9)^{3}=972\pi \ cm^{3}

the volume of the reduced sphere is

r=9/2=4.5\ cm ---> the radius is half the diameter

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (4.5)^{3}=121.5\pi \ cm^{3}

Divide the volumes

972\pi \ cm^{3}/121.5\pi \ cm^{3}=8
