a = 11 / 6
You want to find out what a is.
7a / 10 = 77 / 60
Put your equation into the form Ax = B, where x = a
You can multiply both sides by 10 to get rid of the denominator.
7a / 10 * 10 = 77 / 60 * 10
7a = 77 / 6
Put your equation into the form x = B, where x = a
You can get a on it's own by dividing both sides by 7.
7a ÷ 7 = 77 / 6 ÷ 7
a = 77 / 6 ÷ 7
When dividing fractions:
Convert 7 to a fraction: [tex]\frac{7}{1}[/tex]
Flip the second fraction and multiply.
[tex]\frac{77}{6}[/tex]*[tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{77}{42}[/tex]
a = 77 / 42
Simplify the fraction by dividing be a common factor - 7.
77 ÷ 7 = 11
42 ÷ 7 = 6
a = 11 / 6
