An expression is shown below if this expression is equivalent to 60, what must be the value of a? A.) 3 B.) 4 C.) 9 D.)16

Answer:
Option (A)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is,
[tex]5\sqrt{48a}=60[/tex]
Squaring on both the sides of the equation,
[tex](5\sqrt{48a})^2=(60)^2[/tex]
25(48a) = 3600
1200a = 3600
By dividing the equation by 1200,
a = [tex]\frac{3600}{1200}[/tex]
a = 3
Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.
