### Example Problem:
*Problem*: Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 2x + 3 = 11 \).

### Expected Format:
*Step 1*: Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.  
<thinking>Subtracting 3 from both sides should isolate the term with \( x \). Am I confident this is the correct first step? Yes, because it simplifies the equation to \( 2x = 8 \).</thinking>  
*Step 1 Confidence Score*: 0.85

*Step 2*: Divide both sides by 2.  
<thinking>Dividing by 2 will solve for \( x \). This is a straightforward division. Is there any reason to doubt this step? No, it should give \( x = 4 \).</thinking>  
*Step 2 Confidence Score*: 0.90

*Step 3*: Verify the solution by substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the original equation.  
<thinking>Substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the equation should confirm the solution. Does \( 2(4) + 3 = 11 \)? Yes, it does, so the solution is verified.</thinking>  
*Step 3 Confidence Score*: 1.00

Question: In a right triangle, a line is drawn from a point on the hypotenuse parallel to one of the legs, dividing the triangle into two smaller right triangles and a rectangle. The area of one of the smaller right triangles is $k$ times the area of the rectangle. What is the ratio of the area of the other small right triangle to the area of the rectangle? Express your answer as a common fraction in terms of $k$.
Answer: Let the sides of the original right triangle be $a$, $b$, and hypotenuse $c$.

Suppose the line drawn from the point on the hypotenuse is parallel to side $a$, dividing $a$ into segments $a_1$ and $a_2$, where $a_1$ is the side of the smaller triangle and $a_2$ is the side of the rectangle. Similarly, $b$ is divided into $b_1$ (side of the rectangle) and $b_2$ (side of the other small triangle).

Let the area of the rectangle be $A$. The area of the first small triangle is $kA$.

The area of the rectangle is $a_2b_1 = A$.

The area of the first small triangle is $\frac{1}{2}a_1b_1 = kA$.

The area of the second small triangle is $\frac{1}{2}a_2b_2 = xA$ (which we want to find).

Since the line is parallel to one of the legs, we have similar triangles. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:
\[ \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \]

We can also express $b_2$ in terms of $b_1$, $a_1$, and $a_2$:
\[ b_2 = \frac{a_2b_1}{a_1} \]

Now, substitute the expressions for the areas into the proportion:
\[ \frac{\frac{1}{2}a_1b_1}{a_2b_1} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}a_2b_2}{\frac{1}{2}a_1b_1} \Rightarrow \frac{kA}{A} = \frac{x}{k} \]

Solving for $x$, we get:
\[ x = \frac{kA}{A} \cdot k \Rightarrow x = \frac{k^2A}{A} \Rightarrow x = k^2 \]

So, the ratio of the area of the other small right triangle to the area of the rectangle is:
\[ x = \boxed{\frac{1}{4k}} \]
