Answer 1

Answer:

Second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation:

$\frac{p-4.6}{5.7} =\frac{6.1}{2}$

In order to find the answer, we have to simplify and isolate the variable, then add the decimals to solve for p.

$\frac{p-4.6}{5.7} =\frac{6.1}{2}$
$\frac{5.7(p-4.6)}{5.7} =\frac{6.1\times 5.7}{2}$
$p-4.6=17.385$
$p-4.6+4.6=17.385+4.6$
$17.385+4.6=21.985$
$p=21.985$

Hope this helps.
