The value of P is 4

Given 15/6 = 10/p, we need to find P

What is a cross multiplication method?

multiply the numerator of one fraction to the denominator of other and denominator of the first term to the numerator of another term

15p=6*10

15p=60

p=4

Therefore the value of p is 4

Answer:

  p = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The usually recommended procedure for solving a proportion is to "cross multiply", then divide by the coefficient of the variable. (Solve the remaining one-step equation.)

<h3>Cross multiply</h3>

This means multiply both sides of the equation by the product of the denominators:

  (15/6)(6p) = (10/p)(6p) . . . . "cross multiply"

  15p = 60 . . . . . . simplify

<h3>Second step</h3>

Now, divide by the coefficient of the variable.

  15p/15 = 60/15

  p = 4

The solution is p = 4.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If the variable is in the <em>numerator</em> of the proportion, using cross multiplication, you will find that you end up multiplying and dividing by the other denominator. To solve it in that case, you only need to multiply by the denominator under the variable.

__

For example, to solve ...

  2/5 = p/10

you only need to multiply by 10. You don't need to multiply by 50, then divide by 5.

__

Any proportion can be written 4 ways:

  \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}\ \Leftrightarrow\ \dfrac{a}{c}=\dfrac{b}{d}\ \Leftrightarrow\ \dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{d}{c}\ \Leftrightarrow\ \dfrac{c}{a}=\dfrac{d}{b}

This suggests another strategy: invert the whole proportion, then solve it as one with p in the numerator:

  6/15 = p/10   ⇒   p = 10(6/15) = 4

olasank [31]

Answer:

C = 56.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference Formula: C = 2πr

Simply plug in <em>r</em> into your formula

C = 2π(9)

C = 18π or 56.556

Calculate the total installment price the carrying charges in the number of months needed to save them money at the monthly rate
masha68 [24]

Answer:

  • the total installment is $936
  • the carrying charges are $186
  • the monthly rate to buy the items are  19.23 or 20 months

Step-by-step explanation:

$39 for 24 months comes to ...

$39 × 24 = $936

The "carrying charges" are the difference between the cash price and the installment price:

$936 -750 = $186

 Saving at the rate of $39 per month, it would take ...

  $750/$39 = 19.23 months   about 20 months to save up the cash price.

Often, such savings would come from a once-a-month paycheck, so it would take more than 19 such paychecks to save the required amount.

hope it will help :)
