\begin{gathered} (a)/(6)\text{ = }(15)/(2) \\ By\text{ cross multiplying, we have} \\ 2\text{ }*\text{ a = 15 }*\text{ 6} \\ 2a\text{ = 90} \\ a\text{ = }(90)/(2)\text{ = 45} \\ \text{ QUESTION 2} \\ (10)/(7)\text{ = }(8)/(K) \\ By\text{ cross multiplying, we have} \\ 10\text{ }*\text{ k = 7 }*8 \\ 10k\text{ = 56} \\ K\text{ =}(56)/(10) \\ K\text{ = 5.6} \end{gathered}
