Question

8/7=5/p

What is the answer

Answer 1

p = 4.375

Explanation:

`(8)/(7) = (5)/(p)`

Here we will just Cross-Multiply;

8(p) = 5(7)

8p = 35

Divide both sides by 8;

p = 4.375

Answer 2

p = 4.375

Explanation:

`(8)/(7)` =
`(5)/(p)`

8 × p = 5 × 7

∴ p = (5 × 7) ÷ 8

p =
`(35)/(8)`

p = 4.375
