Question

Which equation is true when p = 0.6?

a. 0.6p = 10
b. 0.6, p, = 10
c. p 6 = 1.8
d. p - 1 = 0.4

Answer 1

Upon evaluation, none of the provided equations result in a true statement when p is substituted with 0.6. It appears there may be typos in the question, as the multiplication and subtraction operations do not yield the given numbers on the other side of the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which equation is true when p = 0.6. To determine the correct equation, we substitute p with 0.6 and evaluate each option.

1. 0.6p = 10
2. p 6 = 1.8
3. p - 1 = 0.4

For the first equation, if we substitute p with 0.6, we get 0.6(0.6) = 0.36, which is not equal to 10. For the third equation, 0.6 - 1 = -0.4, which is also not correct. However, for the second equation, when we multiply p (0.6) by 6, we obtain 0.6 * 6 = 3.6, which is not equal to 1.8. Therefore, none of the given answers is correct if we have interpreted the equations as intended. It's possible there are typos in the original question, so none of the provided options work with p being 0.6.
