Answer: 8/343

Step-by-Step:

If two similar solids have a scale factor of a:b then,

The ratio of their surface areas (2D) is- a^2:b^2

The ratio of their volume (3D) is- a^3:b^3

First you want to square root the scale factor numbers to find the original value. Then you cube the original numbers to find the answer.
