Question

What is the solution to the equation? 5 = two-fifths a

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is a simplification of the equation presented.

$\frac{2}{5}$ * $\frac{a}{1}$ = $\frac{2a}{5}$

5 = 2/5(a) can be re written as 2a/5

Or, When solving for a, 2/5(12.5) = 5, meaning A = 12.5

Answer 2

Answer:

12.5 or  $12\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to isolate the a variable, and to do that you have to divide by 2/5 on both sides.

$\frac{2}{5} a=5\\\\a=5/\frac{2}{5}$

simplify.

$a=12\frac{1}{2}$
