Explaining it can be easy. You can tell the numerator and denominator of 4/12 are even, right? I usually then divide the fraction by two to simplify it more. That will get us to 2/6. If you divide in half once more you'll end up with 1/3, which means that 4/12 is equivalent to 1/3. Hope this helps :)

Given:

Radius of the cylinder = 5 in

Height of the cylinder = 30 in.

To find:

The surface area of the cylinder.

Solution:

The surface area of the cylinder is:

$SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Where, r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

Putting $r=5,h=30,\pi=3.14$ in the above formula, we get

$SA=2(3.14)(5)^2+2(3.14)(5)(30)$

$SA=2(3.14)(25)+942$

$SA=157+942$

$SA=1099
$

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 1099 square inches.

After sales tax, a $600 antique clock costs $642. What is the sales tax percentage?

LenKa [72]

well, clearly the tax is the added 42 bucks, so hmmm if we take 600 to be the 100%, how much is 42 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 600 & 100\\ 42& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{600}{42}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{100}{7}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 100x=700\implies x=\cfrac{700}{100}\implies x=7$
