Answer:
[tex]55k=60[/tex]
[tex]k=\frac{12}{11}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a verbal expression. We are supposed to represent the given verbal expression into mathematical expression.
5 times as great as k means 55 is being multiplied by k that is [tex]55k[/tex].
Now, we will equate 60 with [tex]55k[/tex] as:
[tex]55k=60[/tex]
To solve for k, we will divide both sides by 55 as:
[tex]\frac{55k}{55}=\frac{60}{55}[/tex]
[tex]k=\frac{12}{11}[/tex]
Therefore, our required equation would be [tex]55k=60[/tex] and value of k is [tex]\frac{12}{11}[/tex].
