Respuesta :

Answer:

The value of variable a  is 12.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is to 5 as 10 is to a.

or, 4 : 5 = 10 : a

By the RATIO OF PROPORTIONALITY:

[tex]\frac{4}{5}  = \frac{10}{a} \\\implies a = \frac{10\times 5}{4}   = 12.5[/tex]

or, the value of a  = 12. 5

⇒ 4 is to 5 as 10 is to 12.5

Hence, the value of variable a  is 12.5.
