An equation is shown.

1/6p = 42

What is the value of p?

1 answer

To solve for p, we need to isolate p on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the fraction:

(1/6p) * 6 = 42 * 6

Multiplying the fractions:

1p = 252

Simplifying,
p = 252

Therefore, the value of p is 252.
