------- =  --------
  4a           3

cross multiply
2(4a) = 1 * 3
8a = 3
  a = 3/8 or a = 3 over 8

answer
3 over 8

Answer:

The correct answer is

2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 * a = 2/3

  • 1/4 * 1/4 (It cancels out so its 1. So a = 1)
  • 2/3 * 4/1 = 8/3
  • a = 8/3 (Divide)
  • a = 2 2/3 (Answer)

The person above is correct BUT the equation not finished and the answer only works if you divide the last answer (8/3)

Just did the test!

Question: 1/4a = 2/3 . Which of the following equals a in this equation?

They are only looking for which EQUALS a and NOT the answer to the question.
