Answer:

55 = k

Explanation:

The scale factor is ⅖, which means if ⅖ of 15 is 6, then ⅖k is 22, so we set it up like this:

⅖k = 22 → 22[2½ (or 5⁄2)] >> 55

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the fraction's multiplicative inverse.

Another way to solve this is to look at it proportionally:

[15][22]\6 = 55
