Chapter CSB, Problem 1.9E

To determine

To solve:thegiven proportion.

Answer to Problem 1.9E

  $p=4$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given proportionare $\frac{p}{6}=\frac{24}{36}$ .

Calculation:

As the given proportionare $\frac{p}{6}=\frac{24}{36}$ .

Now, solved the given equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{p}{6}=\frac{24}{36}\left\{\text{given proportion}\right\}\\ p\times 36=6\times 24\{\text{cross-multiplication}}\\ \therefore p=\frac{6\times 24}{36}\{\text{divide both sides by 36}}\\ \Rightarrow p=4\{\text{simplify}}\end{array}$

Hence, the solution of the given solution is $p=4$
