To represent the value of \( p \) in the form \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \) given the equation \( x = -\frac{5}{16} \), we can manipulate the equation as follows:
-
Starting with the equation given: \[ x = -\frac{5}{16} \]
-
We want to represent this in the form \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \). First, let's set \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \): \[ x = p \]
-
Since we know that \( x = -\frac{5}{16} \), we can equate: \[ p = -\frac{5}{16} \]
Therefore, in order to satisfy the equation \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \), the value of \( p \) is: \[ p = -\frac{5}{16} \]
