That depends on the value of #k#... #(16k)/48# can be anything with the right value for #k#. In other words, the question is incomplete. There needs to be a value of #k# provided.

#k/3 = 1/3k#

Explanation:

You can simplify the fraction which is given, but the answer will still be in terms of #k#

#(16k)/48 " "= (cancel16k)/(cancel48^3)#

#= k/3 #

This means the same as #1/3k#

If a value of #k# is known, the value of the expression can be calculated,

If not, we leave it an an algebraic expression.
