Question

Solve the equation 1/4 a = 3
A. 0.75
B. 3
C. 12
D. 16

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Our task is to solve the following equation:

`\sf{\cfrac{1}{4}a=3}`

In order to solve for a, multiply both sides by 4. The result is this:

`\sf{\cfrac{1}{4}a*4=3*4}`

`\sf{a=3*4}`

`\sf{a=12}`

Therefore, a = 12.

Answer 2

3 is your answer.

Explanation:

Let's multiply across:

3 x 1/4 = (3 x 1)/(1 x 4) = (3)/(4)

So 3 is your answer.
