Question

Find the value of p in the following equation: 6 * 2/4 = p * 1/4

Answer 1

Answer:
`p=12`

Explanation:

`6*(2)/(4)=p*(1)/(4)`

Solve the multiplication on the left side.

6 and 4 can be simplified.

6/2=3

4/2=2

Leaving it like;

`3*(2)/(2)=p*(1)/(4)`

2 and 2 is 1 and 3 times 1 is 3.

`3=p*(1)/(4)`

Multiply by 4 to eliminate the fraction and isolate p.

`4*3=p*(1)/(4)*4\\12=p`
