Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 12k = 42.3 \), you would divide both sides by 12.

Here’s how it works:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
12k = 42.3
\]

2. Divide both sides by 12:
\[
k = \frac{42.3}{12}
\]

3. Calculate the value:
\[
k = 3.525
\]

So the correct procedure is to divide both sides by 12, and the solution is \( k = 3.525 \).

The correct response is:
**Divide both sides by 12; the solution is 3.525.**
