Question

What is the value of p in this proportion?

Answer 1

Answer:

p = $\frac{3}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{\frac{3}{10} }{p}$ = $\frac{\frac{4}{5} }{\frac{1}{4} }$ ( cross- multiply )

$\frac{4}{5}$ p = $\frac{3}{10}$ × $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{40}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{5}{4}$ to clear the fraction on left side

p = $\frac{5}{4}$ × $\frac{3}{40}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ × $\frac{3}{8}$ = $\frac{3}{32}$
