Answer:

B. 1.5 = 2p

Explanation:

If p is the fraction of the price of a pizza, then 2p is the actual value of that fraction. We're told that is equal to the price of a hotdog, so ...

2p = 1.5

or

1.5 = 2p . . . . . . matches choice B

_____

Additional comment

Some of us would "cut to the chase" and compute the fraction directly:

p = (price of hotdog)/(price of pizza) = 1.5/2

No such choice is offered, so the next best is the equation you get when you multiply this by 2:

2p = 1.5
