Question

if 5/8=20/p,then the value of p is

Answer 1

$\dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{20}{p}$

Here, p ≠ 0, because the denominator cannot be 0

So, by cross multiplying,

➾ 5 × p = 20 × 8

By calculating,

➾ 5p = 160

Divide both the sides by 5,

➾ p = $\dfrac{160}{5}$

By dividing,

➾ p = 32


∴ The value of p is 32

Verification:-

$\dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{20}{p}$

➾ $\dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{20}{32}$

➾ $\dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{5}{8}$ (By reducing)

∴ LHS = RHS✔✔



∴ The value of p is 32
