Answer: 1/8

Step-by-step explanation: A percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. So we can write 12.5% as 12.5/100.

Next, we need to get rid of the decimal. We can multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number without changing the value of the fraction.

So to get rid of the decimal, we can multiply the numerator and the denominator of 12.5/100 by 10 and we have 125/1000.

Now, notice that 125/1000 is not in lowest terms because we can divide the numerator and the denominator by 125 to get 1/8.

So 12.5% can be written as the fraction 1/8.

Statements that are true for a cylinder with radius r and height h.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Only the second and third statements are correct:

Doubling <em>r</em> quadruples the volume.

Doubling <em>h</em> doubles the volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h

We can go through each statement and examine its validity.

Statement 1)

If the radius is doubled, our new radius is now 2<em>r</em>. Hence, our volume is:

\displaystyle V=\pi (2r)^2h=4\pi r^2h

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is quadrupled the original volume.

Statement 1 is not correct.

Statement 2)

Using the previous reasonsing, Statement 2 is correct.

Statement 3)

If the height is doubled, our new height is now 2<em>h</em>. Hence, our volume is:

V=\pi r^2(2h)=2\pi r^2h

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume has been doubled.

Statement 3 is correct.

Statement 4)

Statement 4 is not correct using the previous reasonsing.

Statement 5)

Doubling the radius results in 2<em>r</em> and doubling the height results in 2<em>h</em>. Hence, the new volume is:

V=\pi (2r)^2(2h)=\pi (4r^2)(2h)=8\pi r^2h

So, compared to the old volume, the new volume is increased by eight-fold.

Statement 5 is not correct.
