    I assume the volume of the larger pyramid is 108 ft^3, not 108 ft^2.

    The scale factor of edges of two solids is x.

    The scale factor of their areas is x^2.

    The scale factor of their volumes is x^3

    The areas have a scale factor of 18/8 = 2.25

    The length have a scale factor of sqrt (2.25) = 1.5

    The volumes have a scale factor of 3.375

    108/3.375 = 32

    Answer: 32 ft^3
