If a and b are directly proportional and the value of a becomes 1/4 as much ,what happens to the value of b

Becomes 1/4 as much

Explanation:

If a and b are directly proportional, this means we may write an equality between them if some proportionality constant, k, is included, so that:

The equation shows that:

And since k is a constant, this would imply that increasing a by some fraction would also require b to increase by the same fraction.

In the context of this problem, we're given that a becomes 1/4 as much, meaning b should also become 1/4 as much to keep the same proportionality constant, k.

i wish i could but this one is weird give me abc and i can solve it.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
