Solve 15a+60*1/80=1

$$15 a + 60 \times \frac { 1 } { 80 } = 1$$

Solve for a

$$a=\frac{1}{60}\approx 0.016666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 60 and \frac{1}{80} to get \frac{60}{80}.

$$15a+\frac{60}{80}=1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{80} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$15a+\frac{3}{4}=1$$

Subtract \frac{3}{4} from both sides.

$$15a=1-\frac{3}{4}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.

$$15a=\frac{4}{4}-\frac{3}{4}$$

Since \frac{4}{4} and \frac{3}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$15a=\frac{4-3}{4}$$

Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.

$$15a=\frac{1}{4}$$

Divide both sides by 15.

$$a=\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{15}$$

Express \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{15} as a single fraction.

$$a=\frac{1}{4\times 15}$$

Multiply 4 and 15 to get 60.

$$a=\frac{1}{60}$$
