To determine

To solve: The equation $\frac{8}{5}=\frac{1}{4}k$ and write in simplest form.

Answer to Problem 3QC

The solution of the equation is $\frac{32}{5}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given equation is $\frac{8}{5}=\frac{1}{4}k$ .

Calculation:

To solve the given equation multiply both sides by 4 and then simplify:

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{8}{5}=\frac{1}{4}k\\ 4\cdot \frac{8}{5}=4\cdot \frac{1}{4}k\\ \frac{32}{5}=k\end{array}$

Hence,

The solution of the equation is $\frac{32}{5}$ .
