2) Solve for the value of p in the following proportion:

Question

3/5=p/60

Answer 1

To solve for the value of p in the proportion 3/5 = p/60, we can cross multiply and then simplify:

3/5 = p/60

Cross multiply: 3 * 60 = 5 * p

180 = 5p

Divide both sides by 5 to solve for p:

180/5 = p

36 = p

Therefore, the value of p in the proportion 3/5 = p/60 is 36.
