    A) Scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form:

    6 m / 12 m = 1/2

    b) Ratio of the areas of the bases of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid:

    (1/2) ^2 = 1/4

    c) Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger:

    (1/2) ^3 = 1/8

    d) Volume of the smaller pyramid:

    (1/8) * 400 m^3 = 50 m^3
