Question

Solve for k 8/7=12/k

Answer 1

`k=(21)/(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`(8)/(7)=(12)/(k)`

To solve for k, let us take the reciprocal of both sides, so that k is a numerator.

`(7)/(8)=(k)/(12)`

Multiply both sides by 12

`\begin{gathered} k=(7)/(8)*12 \\ \\ =(7*12)/(8) \\ \\ =(84)/(8) \\ \\ =(21)/(2) \end{gathered}`
