Answer:

The volume of a sphere of base radius r is 4/3π r3

Let the radius of the earth be R and the radius of the moon be r

Diameter of the moon = 1/4 × diameter of the earth

The radius of the moon = 1/4 × radius of the earth [Since, diameter = 2 × Radius]

r = 1/4 × R

r = R/4

The volume of the earth = 4/3π R3

The volume of the moon = 4/3π r3

= 4/3π (R/4)3 [ replacing r with R/4 ]

= 1/64 × 4/3π R3

The volume of the moon = 1/64 × Volume of the earth

Hence the volume of the moon is 1/64 times the volume of the earth.
