all you do is break KOH into it's ions which makes the solution basic

a more dilute solution of potassium hydroxide, and possibly a little heat if the original solution is superconcentrated - that is, if it has any free potassium. (HINT: "hydroxide" IS water!)

K+ -OH + H-O-H <----> H-O-H + K+ -OH
Notice that you get the strong base (-OH) removing a H off the water in the starting material. This is an equilibrium reaction.

potassium hydroxide is KOH and water is H2O so you use double displacement... i learned this a while ago, i don't remember how to use double displacement.
