Answer:
The answer to your question is a simplification of the equation presented.
[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{a}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2a}{5}[/tex]
5 = 2/5(a) can be re written as 2a/5
Or, When solving for a, 2/5(12.5) = 5, meaning A = 12.5
Answer:
12.5 or [tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to isolate the a variable, and to do that you have to divide by 2/5 on both sides.
[tex]\frac{2}{5} a=5\\\\a=5/\frac{2}{5} \\[/tex]
simplify.
[tex]a=12\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
