one-fourtha = 3 (1 point) Responses a = 0.75 a = 0.75 a = 3 a = 3 a = 12 a = 12 a = 1
The correct response is a = 0.75.
The correct answer is a = 0.75
Explanation:
To find the value of a, you can solve the equation:
one-fourtha = 3
To solve this equation, you need to isolate the variable a.
Since "one-fourtha" represents the fraction 1/4a, you can rewrite the equation as:
1/4a = 3
To get rid of the fraction, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 4a:
4a * (1/4a) = 4a * 3
1 = 12a
Now divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for a:
1/12 = a
So the value of a is 1/12, which can also be expressed as a decimal as 0.0833. However, none of the provided options match this value. Therefore, the given options are incorrect and the correct answer is not among them.
