Answer:

1/8 or 8 times smaller than original

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

factor by which rectangular solid is dilated = 0.5

To find,

times the rectangular solid's volume is larger than the original

Formula to calculate volume of rectangle

<h3> Length * Breadth * height</h3>

Formula to calculate ratio

<h3> dilated volume / original volume</h3><h3 />

Length(0.5) * Breadth(0.5) * height(0.5) / (Length * Breadth * height )

(0.5)(0.5)(0.5) / 1

(0.5)^3

(1/8) / 1

The volume of the resulting solid is eight times smaller than the volume of the original solid.
