Answer:[tex]27:125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ratio of corresponding dimensions is in the ratio of [tex]3:5[/tex]

If the two pyramids are similar then the ratio of their volumes is proportional to the cube of their side ratio

i.e.

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=(\dfrac{l_1}{l_2})^3[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=(\dfrac{3}{5})^3[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{27}{125}[/tex]

Thus the ratio of their volumes is [tex]27:125[/tex]
