Answer 1

Answer:

5/9=20/p

=> p = (20x9)/5

=> p = 180/5

=> p = 36

This is my answer.

Answer 2

GIVEN:- we have given the condition or inequality in the form of ratio and proportion as:-

⇒$\frac{5}{9} = \frac{20}{p}$

TO FIND:- we have to find the value of 'p' for this given ratio and proportion.

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION :-

∵ $\frac{5}{9} = \frac{20}{p}$

⇒ We have to perform cross multiplication on this and after cross- multiplication, we get equation as:-

⇒$5p=(20)(9)$

⇒$5p=180$

⇒$p=\frac{180}{5}$

⇒$p=36$

Hence,The required value of p= 36 will satisfy the given ratio and proportion.

So, The required value of p= 36 is the correct answer.
