Question

3/5=P/604
A. 15
B. 30
C. 36
D. 48
E. 63

Answer 1

To solve for P, we can cross multiply in the proportion:

3/5 = P/604
3 * 604 = 5P
1812 = 5P
P = 1812 / 5
P = 362.4

The value of P is 362.4, which is not listed as an option. However, the closest whole number is 363, so the answer would be none of the options listed.
