Question
If $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are two vectors such that $\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=6,|\vec{\text{a}}|=3$ and $\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|=4.$ write the projection of $\vec{\text{a}}$ on $\vec{\text{b}}.$

Answer

We have 
$\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=6$ and $\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|=4$
The projection of $\vec{\text{a}}$ on $\vec{\text{b}}$ is 
$\frac{\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}}{\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|}$
$=\frac{6}{4}$
$=\frac{3}{2}$
