Final answer:

After dividing the numbers provided in each option by 103, none of the given equations result in the specified quotient, making all of them incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which equation is a true statement if p=103. Each option represents a division of a number by p. To find the solution, we divide the numbers in the equations by 103 and determine if the resulting quotient matches the value given in the options.

  • A. 3.4÷p=0.0329 (approximately, not 0.034)
  • B. 437÷p=4.24 (approximately, not 0.437)
  • C. 53.45÷p=0.519 (approximately, not 53.45)
  • D. 6,340÷p=61.55 (approximately, not 6.34)
  • E. 2,458.2÷p=23.87 (approximately, not 24.582)

By performing these calculations, we can determine that all options are incorrect when p=103. None of the given equations result in the specified quotient when p is equal to 103.
