Answer 1

Answer:

p = 4.375

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{7} = \frac{5}{p}$

Here we will just Cross-Multiply;

8(p) = 5(7)

8p = 35

Divide both sides by 8;

p = 4.375

Answer 2

Answer:

      p  = 4.375

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{7}$ = $\frac{5}{p}$

8 × p = 5 × 7

 ∴ p = (5 × 7) ÷ 8

       p = $\frac{35}{8}$

      p    = 4.375
