The equation is: 1/4a = 3
To solve for a, you need to isolate a on one side of the equation.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
1/4a * 4 = 3 * 4
Simplifying:
a = 12
So the solution is a = 12.
To solve the equation 1/4a = 3, we need to isolate the variable "a" on one side of the equation.
First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the denominator:
4 * (1/4a) = 4 * 3
This simplifies to:
1/a = 12
Next, we can take the reciprocal of both sides of the equation to isolate "a":
1 / (1/a) = 1/12
Multiplying both sides by "a":
a = 1/12
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1/4a = 3 is:
a = 1/12 or a = 0.08333 (rounded to five decimal places).
