Question

Round the answer to 1 decimal digit. a/6 = 5/7 help me!!

Answer 1

The answer is:  a = 4.3  . 
____________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________
Given:
____________________________________
    a/6 = 5/7 ; Solve for "a" ;
____________________________________

    7a = 5*6 ;

    7a = 30 ;

Divide EACH side of the equation by "7" ; to isolate "a" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "a" ;
___________________________________
 7a / 7 = 30 / 7 ; 
____________________________________
     a = 30 / 7 = 4.2857142857142857 ; 
        
                 → round to 1 decimal digit ; 
 
                 → The first 2 decimal digits are: 4.28 ;
                           Since the 2nd decimal digit is "8" (i.e., "5" or greater), 
                        we round the first decimal digit to the higher number;

                 →  The answer is:  a = 4.3  .
