How do you get P by itself? What's on the side of P that you don't want there? Those are questions you should ask yourself when starting this!

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

divide 1/3

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Technically speaking, yes! So what do you when you divide by a fraction? You flip the SECOND fraction!

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

and the answer is p=n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope! Think of it like this. what will make 1/3 = 1?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

well 1p=n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is why: what you do to one side, you MUST do to the other. so technically, you multiplied the left hand side by 3, so you must multiply the right hand side by 3

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

1p=3n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEP.; Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

you explain so well that you deserve a medal
