Question

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

Answer 1

Given the following equation:

`(3)/(4)=(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} ((3)/(4))(36)=((a)/(36))(36) \\ \\ (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.
