Question

1.5/6=10/p what number is P

Answer 1

$\boxed{ \frac{1.5}{6}= \frac{10}{p} } \to p=? \\ ------------\\ p= \frac{6*10}{1.5}\\ \\p= \frac{60}{1.5} =\bold{40 } \\ \\ \boxed{\text{The asnwer is 40}}$

Answer 2

So u do cross multiplication first
1.5/6=10/p ---> 1.5p=10×6

1.5p=60

then divide both sides by 1.5 since u want p by itself
p= 60/1.5

p=40
