For this case we have the following equation:
[tex]\frac {k} {3} = \frac {16} {24}[/tex]
We must find the value of the variable "k":
Simplifying the right side of the equation we have:
[tex]\frac {k} {3} = \frac {8} {12}\\\frac {k} {3} = \frac {4} {6}\\\frac {k} {3} = \frac {2} {3}[/tex]
We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:
[tex]k = \frac {2} {3} * 3\\k = 2[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]k = 2[/tex]
