1. k/3 = 9/2
a. 1
b. 3
c. 9
d. 27
can someone do a step by step problem to help me with this
k/3 = 9/2
the LCD = 6, so multiply everything by 6.
2k = 27
k = 27/2
That's not one of the choices.
However, if you start with
k/3 = 9
then k=27
I'll let you sort it out.
this helped me yesterday so thanks
To solve the equation k/3 = 9/2, we need to isolate the variable k on one side of the equation. Here's a step-by-step solution:
Step 1: Start by cross-multiplying. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction (9) by the denominator of the second fraction (3), and multiply the denominator of the first fraction (2) by the numerator of the second fraction (k).
(9) * (3) = (2) * (k)
Step 2: Simplify each side of the equation.
27 = 2k
Step 3: Solve for k by dividing both sides of the equation by 2.
27/2 = k
Step 4: Simplify the right side of the equation, if needed.
k ≈ 13.5
Therefore, the value of k that satisfies the equation k/3 = 9/2 is approximately 13.5.
Looking at the given answer choices, none of them match the solution we found, so it seems there might be another error in the question or answer options.
