Question

Solve the equation.
1/a=6/18

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1 }{ a }=\frac{ 6 }{ 18 }\]

Answer 2

Cross-multiply:
1*18 = a*6

Now can you solve for \(a\)?

Answer 3

\[Is this the answer \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 6 }{ 18 }\]

Answer 4

Yes, because \[\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{6}{6} = \frac{1*6}{3*6}=\frac{6}{18}\]
