Question

What is k equal to if Start Fraction 7.6 over 2 End Fraction = Start Fraction 9.5 over k End Fraction?

1.6
2.5
3.8
4.8

Answer 1

2.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

The value of "k" is 2.5

Solution:

Given that we have to find the value of "k"

Given expression is:

`(7.6)/(2) = (9.5)/(k)`

We can solve the sum by cross multiplying

Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction

Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction

Set the two products equal to each other

Solve for the variable "k"

`(7.6)/(2) = (9.5)/(k)\\\\7.6 * k = 9.5 * 2\\\\7.6k = 19\\\\k = (19)/(7.6)\\\\k = 2.5`

Thus value of "k" is 2.5
