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:

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.
