Answer:
27\text{ }*\text{ }(-3)/(1)\text{ \lparen last option\rparen}Step-by-step explanation:

Given:


-(1)/(3)k\text{ = 27}

To find:

the number that must be multiplied by the equation to get the value of k

To get k, we will multiply the inverse of the coefficient of k on both sides of the equation

Coefficient of k = -1/3

Inverse of the number = 1/(-1/3) = 3/-1 = -3/1


\begin{gathered} (-3)/(1)*-(1)/(3)\text{ = 27}*(-3)/(1) \\ \\ (-3)/(-3)k\text{ = 27}*(-3)/(1) \\ \\ k\text{ = 27 }*(-3)/(1)\text{ \lparen last option\rparen} \end{gathered}
