Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 12k = 42.3 \), the appropriate procedure is to divide both sides by 12.

Here's the step-by-step solution:

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

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

3. Calculate \( \frac{42.3}{12} \): \[ k = 3.525 \]

Therefore, the correct response is: Divide both sides by 12; the solution is 3.525.
