Question

I forgot how to do this, I'm in eight grade, help please.
Solve the equation.
0.8=a/6.5

Answer 1

a= 5.2

Answer 2

Thanks =]

Answer 3

multiply both sides by 6.5
\[ 6.5 \cdot 0.8 = \frac{a \cdot 6.5}{6.5} \]

the idea is that 6.5 divided by itself is 1 so you get
\[ 6.5 \cdot 0.8 = a \]
you need to multiply out 6.5 times 0.8 to get the final answer

Answer 4

Thanks for the explanation phi =)
