Question

4/12 = k/15 what is k

Answer 1

k=5

Explanation:

To solve this, one thing you can do is find like denominators and then reduce. The least common denominators these two fractions share are 60. 4/12 is the equivalent to 20/60. k/15 is equivalent to 4k/60. To solve for what k is we can multiply each side by 60 to get 4k=20. Then we divide each side by 4 to get k = 5. To check this you can divide 5 by 15 (.33333) and 4/12 (.33333) and you know it works. Hope this helps!
