Question

60 is 55 times as great as k

Answer 1

So, 60=55k
k = 60/55
k = 12/11

Answer 2

`55k=60`

`k=(12)/(11)`

Explanation:

We have been given a verbal expression. We are supposed to represent the given verbal expression into mathematical expression.

5 times as great as k means 55 is being multiplied by k that is
`55k`.

Now, we will equate 60 with
`55k` as:

`55k=60`

To solve for k, we will divide both sides by 55 as:

`(55k)/(55)=(60)/(55)`

`k=(12)/(11)`

Therefore, our required equation would be
`55k=60` and value of k is
`(12)/(11)`.
