Question

If 2a/4=b/4 and b≠0, what does 5b equal in terms of a?

A) 2a/15

B) 5a/6

C) 15/2a

D) 40a/3

Answer 1

Explanation:

you must have made a typo here.

none of the answer options are correct for the given problem.

let me just show you what you told me, and how I can solve at least this :

2a/4 = b/4

this simply means (multiply both sides by 4) :

2a = b

so, 5b is then (multiplying both sides by 5) :

5×2a = 5b

10a = 5b

but again, "10a" is not among the offered answers.

so, I don't know if you made a mistake with the basic problem or with the answer options.
