Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: $p=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6*\frac{2}{4}=p*\frac{1}{4}$

Solve the multiplication on the left side.

6 and 4 can be simplified.

6/2=3

4/2=2

Leaving it like;

$3*\frac{2}{2}=p*\frac{1}{4}$

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

$3=p*\frac{1}{4}$

Multiply by 4 to eliminate the fraction and isolate p.

$4*3=p*\frac{1}{4}*4\\12=p$
