Answer 1

Answer:

$k=\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{k}{4}=\frac{3}{8}$

To find: value of $k$

Solution:

Cross-multiplying is a method in which the numerator of each (or one) side is multiplied by the denominator of the other side.

$\frac{k}{4}=\frac{3}{8}$

On cross-multiplication, the equation becomes $k\times 8=4\times 3$

$8k=12$

Divides both sides by 8

$\frac{8k}{8}=\frac{12}{8}\\k=\frac{12}{8}=\frac{3}{2}$
