Answer:

Explanation:

The expression "4p" is basically saying that p is being multiplied by 4.

So let's say, for example, that p is equal to 5.

The expression, instead of 4p, would be 4 times 5, because p is equal to 5.

Of course, 4 times 5 is 20, so 4p would be 20.

But in this case, we need to make it so that the expression would be less than 4. If p was equal to 1, the expression would equal 4, because 4 times 1 is 4.

If p was equal to something less than 1, such as 1/2 (or 0.5), if we did the multiplication, we would get 2.

In conclusion, to make the expression less then four, we would have to assign the variable p a number less than one.
