How do you solve the proportion #48/24=k/13#?

Answer 1

Ethan Adkins

The left hand side simplifies:

#48/24 = (2*24)/24 = 2#

So #k/13 = 2#

Then multiply both sides by 13

#k = 2*13 = 26#

To solve the proportion 48/24=k/13, you can cross-multiply and then solve for k. Cross-multiplying gives you 48 * 13 = 24 * k. Simplifying this equation gives you 624 = 24k. Dividing both sides by 24 gives you k = 26.
