hi ,

 radius of nucleus , R = (1.25 X10 ^-13 )* A ^1/3

                              =     (1.25 X10 ^-13 )* 64 ^1/3

   volume of nucleus  V =  4/3 ¶ { (1.25 X10 ^-13 )* 64 ^1/3 } ^3

                                  = 4/3 ¶ * 1.25 X 10 ^ -37   c.m.^3
       
    volume of atom =    4/3 ¶   ( 1.0 X 10 ^-8) ^3
             
                                = 4/3   ¶    x 10 ^ -24  c.m. ^3
 
   desired fraction =  4/3 ¶ * 1.25 X 10 ^ -37    / 4/3   ¶    x 10 ^ -24  
                              =  1.25 X 10 ^-13      C )
