The ratio of the volume of the smaller sphere to the larger =  (4)^3 / (8)^3  = 1/8

 

Assuming a uniform density:    D = M/V .......so......

 

160 / 8  = Mass of the smaller sphere / 1

 

Mass  of the smaller sphere  = 20 g

1.3333333333333333*1607.68 = 2143.573333333333279744
 

 

simplify to 2143.57cool
