Question

12/k=24/k
k=1.4?????

Answer 1

?

Answer 2

solve the proportion

Answer 3

Well, the only value that makes that 'true' is k=0.

Answer 4

\[\frac{12}{k}=\frac{24}{k} \rightarrow \frac{k}{12}=\frac{k}{24} \rightarrow 2k=k \rightarrow k=0\]

Answer 5

12k=24k
12k-24k=0
-12k=0
k=0/12
k=0

Answer 6

\[\frac{12}{k}=\frac{24}{k} \]
Move the fraction on the right hand side of the equation to the left hand side. Combine the fractions and simplify. The result is:
\[-\frac{12}{k}==0 \]
If the fraction is zero then 12 has to be equal to zero.

By the way, WolframAlfa.com says "there is no solution" which goes without say I guess.
