Solve for p in the literal equation:

Question

3p ÷ 8r = q



Answer 1

3p ÷ 8r = q Solve for p

I like to set these up without the division sign 3p = q The 8r will go join the q by multiplication.

8r

3p = 8rq You will then need top divide the 3 out to get p alone.

3 3

p = 8rq

3

Answer 2

We are given the equation q = (3 * p) / (8 * r), and asked to solve for p.

First, we multiply both sides of the equation by (8 * r), and we have q * (8 * r) = 3 * p.

Second, divide both sides of the equation by 3, and we then have [q * (8 * r)] / 3 = p.

Now simplifying this equation and rewriting it, we have p = 8 / 3 * q * r, or p = 8/3 * qr
