HELLLLP BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINALIST!!!!!

Use the reciprocal property to solve for a: 36/15=8/a

Answer 1

a = 10/3 , a = 3.3

Explanation:

1: determine the defined range

36/15 = 8/a a=0

2: reduce the fraction with 3

12/5 = 8/a

3: simplify the equation using cross-multiplication

12a = 40

4: divide both sides of the equation by 12

a = 10/3 , a=0

5: check if the solution is in the defined range

a = 10/3

Answer 2

36/15 = 8/a

multiply a .. on both sides

a×36/15= 8

multiply 36/15 reciprical on both sides

a= 8 × 15/36

a= 120/36

a= 3.33
