Question

Solve. 2/5p=1 1/3 p= 8/15 p= 2 1/12 p= 3 1/3

Answer 1

Answer:

$p= 3\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2p}{5} =1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2p}{5} =\frac{4}{3}$

Use cross multiplication.

$2p*3=5*4$

$6p=20$

Now divide both sides by 6.

$p=\frac{20}{6}$

To make the fraction in it's simplest form divide both sides by 2.

$p=\frac{10}{3}$

Now let us write is as a mixed number.

$p= 3\frac{1}{3}$
