To solve for p, we can set up a proportion where the numerator of the first fraction is equal to the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction is equal to the denominator of the second fraction.
This gives us:
3/5 = p/60
Cross multiply to solve for p:
3 * 60 = 5 * p
180 = 5p
p = 180/5
p = 36
Therefore, the value of p in the proportion 3/5 = p/60 is 36.
Solve for the value of p in the following proportion: 3/5 = p/60
