We have this simple equation k/8 = 64 and an unknown value or variable k.

In order to find this value, we need to separate k in one side of the equation and we should equal it with the other side.

In this case lets try to multiply both sides with 8 so we can have our k on its own.

8k/8 = 64/8

8 divided by 8 equals to 1 so we will have 1*k=k.

64 multiplied by 8 equals 512.

k=64*8=512

k=512
