To reduce a rectangle by a ratio of 1/4, we need to multiply both dimensions of the original rectangle by the reciprocal of the ratio, which is 4/1.

First, multiply the width of the original rectangle (8) by 4/1:
8 * (4/1) = 32/1 = 32

Next, multiply the height of the original rectangle (6) by 4/1:
6 * (4/1) = 24/1 = 24

Therefore, the dimensions of the new rectangle would be 32 by 24.
