If a/4 = 9/a, then<br> a²=36<br> 4a = 9a<br> a + 4 = 9 + a<br> a - 4 = 9 - a

Anna [14]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The given expression : $\frac{a}{4} = \frac{9}{a}$ then;

$a^2 = 36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression: $\frac{a}{4} = \frac{9}{a}$

Cross multiplication the given expression following steps are as follow;

Multiply numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction

Also, Multiply numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction.

then, set the two products equal to each other.

Using cross multiplication, on the given expression;

$\frac{a}{4} = \frac{9}{a}$

First multiply the numerator of the left hand fraction(i.e,a ) by the denominator of the right hand fraction (i,e a)

we have;

$\frac{a \times a}{4} = 9$

Simplify:

$\frac{a^2}{4} =9$ [1]

now, multiply numerator of the right-hand fraction( i.e, 9) by the denominator of the left-hand fraction (i.e, 4 ) in [1]

we have;

$a^2 = 9\times 4$

Simplify:

$a^2 = 36$

Therefore, the given expression is equal to: $a^2 = 36$

Which fraction and equivalent decimal correctly shows the ratio of shaded circles to all circles?

sergeinik [125]

Shaded circles = 4
Total circles = 12

$\frac{shaded~circles}{total~circles}$ = $\frac{4}{12}$

$\frac{4}{12}$ as a simplified expression = $\frac{2}{6}$
We can simplify it even more = $\frac{1}{3}$

Fraction = $\frac{1}{3}$

Equivalent decimal = 1 ÷ 3 = 0.33
