Question

Which value of a would make the expression 5 1/3 ÷ 4/a equivalent to a whole number?

Answer 1

Answer:

a is any number that is multiples of 3

3, 6, 9, 12, etc...

Step-by-step explanation:

5 1/3 ÷ 4/a

16/3 * a/4

16a/12

$\frac{4}{3} a$

since denominator is 3, a can be any whole number that is a multiple of 3

$\frac{4}{3}(3) = 4$

$\frac{4}{3}(6) = 8$

$\frac{4}{3}(9) = 12$

so on and so on....
