We are looking at proportions/ equivalent fractions here, lets compare the fractions;


\begin{gathered} (k)/(100)=(1)/(10) \\ \text{cross multiply, we have} \\ 10k=100 \\ \text{divide both sides by 10} \\ (10k)/(10)=(100)/(10) \\ k=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number that could replace k is 10.
