1 answer

To solve this problem, we can start by simplifying the left side of the equation:

(8 over 2)p = 8 over 4

First, we simplify 8 over 2, which is equal to 4:

4p = 8 over 4

Next, we simplify 8 over 4, which is equal to 2:

4p = 2

To isolate p, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

(4p)/4 = 2/4

This simplifies to:

p = 1/2

Therefore, the value of p is 1/2.
