Question

What does k equal in the proportion k/4=33/20

Answer 1

`x = (33)/(5)`

or

`x = 6 (3)/(5)`

or

`x = 6.6`

Step by Step:

Step 1: Rewrite the equation (I used x instead of k.)

`(x)/(4) = (33)/(20)`

Step 2: Make x a loner by moving the 4 to the right side.

`4 * (x)/(4) = (33)/(20) * 4`

Step 3: Cancel multiplied terms on the left, multiply numbers on the right.

`x = (165)/(100)`

Step 4: Simplify.

`x = (33)/(5)`
