A right rectangular prism has a base area one-quarter the base area of a larger right rectangular prism. The height of the smaller prism is half the height of the larger one.

What is the ratio of the volume of the smaller prism to the volume of the larger prism?

(Express your answer as a common fraction.)

first prism: A_1 = Bh

 

second prism: A_2 = (4B)(h/2) = 2Bh

 

volume ratio = A_1/A_2 = 1/2
