Answer:

  f(r) = r/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume formula for a cylinder is ...

  V = πr^2·h

The total surface area of a cylinder is ...

  A = 2πr^2 +2πrh

Then the ratio of volume to surface area is ...

  V/A = (πr^2·h)/(2πr(r+h)) = rh/(2(r+h))

__

In this problem, we have h = r, so the ratio becomes ...

  V/A = r·r/(2(r+r)) = r/4

As a function of r, this is ...

  f(r) = r/4
