Question

What are the values of a and b?​

Answer 1

A

`\boxed{a=(9)/(2)}}`

`\boxed{b=(15)/(2)}`

Explanation:

By ratio and proportion

Let's solve for "a" first:-

`\cfrac{a}{6} =\cfrac{6}{8}`

`8a=36`

`\cfrac{8a}{8}=\cfrac{36}{8}`

`\boxed{a=(9)/(2)}}`

Now, Let's solve for "b":-

`\cfrac{b}{6} =\cfrac{10}{8}`

`8b=60`

`\cfrac{8b}{8}=\cfrac{60}{8}`

`\boxed{b=(15)/(2)}`

Therefore, your answer is A!!!!
