Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Isolate w by performing the following steps
- Multiply by 6 on both sides to clear the denominator
- Subtract 3 from both sides
- Divide both sides by 2
![y=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{w}{3}\\\\\\6\bigg[y=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{w}{3}\bigg]\quad \implies \quad 6y=3+2w\\\\\\6y-3=3-3+2w\quad \implies \quad 6y-3=2w\\\\\\\dfrac{6y-3}{2}=\dfrac{2w}{2}\quad \implies \quad \large\boxed{\dfrac{6y-3}{2}=w}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%2B%5Cdfrac%7Bw%7D%7B3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C6%5Cbigg%5By%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%2B%5Cdfrac%7Bw%7D%7B3%7D%5Cbigg%5D%5Cquad%20%5Cimplies%20%5Cquad%206y%3D3%2B2w%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C6y-3%3D3-3%2B2w%5Cquad%20%5Cimplies%20%5Cquad%206y-3%3D2w%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cdfrac%7B6y-3%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B2w%7D%7B2%7D%5Cquad%20%5Cimplies%20%5Cquad%20%5Clarge%5Cboxed%7B%5Cdfrac%7B6y-3%7D%7B2%7D%3Dw%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Surface Area of original cylinder
= (2×(22/7)×9)(9+24)
=18×22/7×33
=1,866.8
Total Surface Area of new cylinder
=(2×(22/7)×9/3)(9/3+24/3)
=(2×(22/7)×3)(3+8)
=6×22/7×11
=207.4
Change or Ratio of org. cylinder to new cylinder
=1,866.8/207.4
=9.0009
1/4 because 6/24 can be simplified all the way down to 1/4
