a = 0.75
a = 0.75
a = 3
a = 3
a = 12
a = 12
a = 16
a = 0.75
To solve the equation "one-fourth a = 3", we need to isolate the variable "a".
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of "a", which is 4.
(4)(one-fourth a) = (4)(3)
Simplifying the left side of the equation, the "one-fourth" cancels out, leaving us with:
a = (4)(3)
Step 2: Simplify the equation:
a = 12
Therefore, the value of "a" is 12.
