Question

Solve for P.

4p = 1/2

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

You need to find P not 4p so you divide 4p by 4 to get P and by doing this you have to divide the other side too. so now you got 4p/4 = 1/2/4 which = p=1/8

Answer 2

Hi there!

This is very simple if you think about it.

To solve here is what you need to do:
4p = 1/2

Divide both sides by 4 -
4p/4 = 1/2/4

p = 1/8
This of course cannot be simplified any lower than what it is because the numerator is a 1. When it is a 1 it cannot be smaller. (Note that a fraction cannot have a decimal number as its numerator OR denominator.)

Hope this helps!
