Question

8/7 = 12/k solve for k

Answer 1

k= 10.5

Explanation:

We can solve this by using cross multiplication

We multiply the values across from each other

8k=7(12)

Then we multiply 7 and 12, and then divide by 8

8k=84

k= 10.5

Answer 2

k = 10.5

Explanation:

8/7 = 12/k

Using cross products

8k = 7*12

8k = 84

Divide each side by 8

8k/8 = 84/8

k = 10.5
