Question

What does k equal in the proportion k/4=33/20

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{33}{5}$

or

$x = 6 \frac{3}{5}$

or

$x = 6.6$

Step by Step:

Step 1: Rewrite the equation (I used x instead of k.)

$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{33}{20}$

Step 2: Make x a loner by moving the 4 to the right side.

$4 \times \frac{x}{4} = \frac{33}{20} \times 4$

Step 3: Cancel multiplied terms on the left, multiply numbers on the right.

$x = \frac{165}{100}$

Step 4: Simplify.

$x = \frac{33}{5}$
