Answer 2

Answer:

option (b) is correct.

a = - 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : equation  1.6a = - 9.12

We have to solve for  a and choose the correct option from given options.

Consider the given equation  1.6 a = -9.12

Divide both side by 1.6

$\frac{1.6a}{1.6}=\frac{-9.12}{1.6}$

We have,

$a=\frac{-9.12}{1.6}$

Simplify, we have,

a = - 5.7

Thus, option (b) is correct.
