Решим уравнение:
$$k - \frac{2}{5}k = (1 - \frac{2}{5})k = \frac{5}{5}k - \frac{2}{5}k = \frac{3}{5}k$$
$$\frac{3}{5}k = 4,5$$
$$k = 4,5 : \frac{3}{5}$$
$$k = 4,5 \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{45}{10} \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{9 \times 5}{2 \times 5} \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3}{2} \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{3}{2} \times 5 = \frac{15}{2} = 7,5$$
Ответ: 7,5
