Question

Can anyone give me the answer to what 1 2/5 = 1/6K is i keep getting K=72/5 but my teacher says its wrong i'm in 6th grade and need help ASAP

Answer 1

Answer: k=8.4 or 42/5

Step-by-step explanation: to find k you take 1 2/5 and divide it by 1/6. When I did it I got 8.4. To check my work I replaced the variable in the equation and it was correct.

Answer 2

k =
`(12)/(5)`

Explanation:

`(12)/(5)` =
`(1)/(6k)` ( cross- multiply )

72k = 5 ( divide both sides by 72 )

k =
`(5)/(72)`
