Question

choose all values of a that makes following equation true :3/4=a/36

Answer 1

Given the following equation:

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{a}{36}$

You need to solve for "a" in order to find its value. You can do it applying the steps shown below:

1. You can apply the Multiplication property of equality by multiplying both sides of the equation by 36:

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{3}{4})(36)=(\frac{a}{36})(36) \\ \\ \frac{108}{4}=a \end{gathered}$

2. Finally, you need divide the numerator 108 by the denominator 4. Then, you get the following result:

$a=27$

The answer is: Option B and Option D.
