Hello

To solve this question, we just need to cross multiply and make p the subject of formula.


(4)/(p)=(11)/(2)

Cross multiply both sides


\begin{gathered} (4)/(p)=(11)/(2) \\ 11* p=4*2 \\ 11p=8 \\ \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by the coefficient of p.


\begin{gathered} (11p)/(11)=(8)/(11) \\ p=(8)/(11) \end{gathered}

From the calculations above, the value of p is 8/11
