If 1/p+q=r and p≠-q, what is p in terms of r and q?

p = (1/r) - q

In order to find this, follow the order of operations to get the answer.

1/p+q = r ----> Multiply both sides by p+q

1 = r(p + q) -----> Divide by r

1/r = p + q -----> subtract q from both sides

(1/r) - q = p

<em>The question has inconsistent or incomplete data, so I'm filling the holes with key data.</em>

Answer:

<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows

* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M

* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)

I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.

Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey

125/36 = 3,47%

50/11 = 4,54%
