Question

20. Solve the equation, 3/5 * a = 1/4

Answer 1

We have to solve the equation:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(5)a=(1)/(4) \\ a=(1)/(4)\cdot(5)/(3) \\ a=(5)/(12) \end{gathered}`

We just divide both sides by 5/3 and multiply. One side is clear a, and the other side results in 5/12.

Answer: a=5/12 (Option C)
