Onen way, is to know that
if a=b and c=d, then a/c=b/d, and thn (a/c)(d/b)=1

the real way would be to make denomenators the same

one way would be to firs assume they are equal then show it is false
1/2=2/5
times right sides by 5/5 and left by 2/2
5/10=4/10
times 10 both sides
5=4
flase

it is not equal

If you were to make the denominators equivalent, you'd see they aren't equivalent.

1/2=5/10

2/5=4/10

...Hope that helps

What is the surface are of the cylinder pictured below ​
Elina [12.6K]

Surface area of the cylinder is 294π in².

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr² Here, r = 7 in, h = 14 in

⇒ Surface Area = 2 × π × 7 × 14 + 2 × π × 7 × 7

                          = π (196 + 98) = 294π in²

In 2006 the state of nevada had two area codes how many phone numbers could nevada accommodate if the first digi cannot be zero
Aleks04 [339]
Answer: There are 16 million different phone numbers possible. 

First, let's find the number of possible phone numbers without the area code. There are 7 numbers in a phone number. There are 10 digits for each position. However, the first one can't be 1 or 0, so there are only 8 options.

Multiply the possibilities to find the total number.

8 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 8,000,000

Since, there are 2 different area codes, just multiply 8 million by 2 to get 16 million.
