-8 1/8 = (6 1/2)p
so first, we change the mixed numbers into improper fractions. To convert them, we take the product of the denominator and the constant then add it to numerator. This answer is the new numerator, while retaining the denominator:
8 1/8 = (8*8 + 1)/8 = 65/8
6 1/2 = (2*6 + 1) = 13/2
rewriting,
-65/8 = (13/2)*p
to get p, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 13/2, which is 2/13:
(-65/8)(2/13) = (13/2)*(2/13)*p
-5*2/8 = p
p = -5/4
hope this helps~ :)
-8 1/8=6 1/2p is the answer 52.8 does p =52.8
