Question

What are the values of a and b?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A

$\boxed{a=\frac{9}{2}}}$

$\boxed{b=\frac{15}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By ratio and proportion

Let's solve for "a" first:-

$\cfrac{a}{6} =\cfrac{6}{8}$

$8a=36$

$\cfrac{8a}{8}=\cfrac{36}{8}$

$\boxed{a=\frac{9}{2}}}$

Now, Let's solve for "b":-

$\cfrac{b}{6} =\cfrac{10}{8}$

$8b=60$

$\cfrac{8b}{8}=\cfrac{60}{8}$

$\boxed{b=\frac{15}{2}}$

Therefore, your answer is A!!!!
