80/56=P/14

1 answer

To solve for P, we can first simplify the left side of the equation:

80/56 = 10/7

Now we can set up the equation with the simplified fraction:

10/7 = P/14

To solve for P, we can cross multiply:

10 * 14 = 7 * P

140 = 7P

Now, divide both sides by 7 to isolate P:

140/7 = P

P = 20

Therefore, the value of P in the equation 80/56 = P/14 is 20.
