Hey there!

“10 / k = 8 / 4”

FIRST: CROSS MULTIPLY

10(8) = 4(k)

10(8) = 80

4(k) = 4k

NEW EQUATION: 80 = 4k

SECOND: FLIP/TURN the EQUATION

4k = 80

THIRD: DIVIDE both SIDES by 4

4k / 4 = 80 / 4

CANCEL: 4 / 4 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 80 / 4 because that gives you the value of k

NEW EQUATION: 80 / 4 = v ; v = 80 / 4

FOURTH: SOLVE above and you have the k-value

Answer:

k = 5☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
