Question

Solve.

p / 8 = twelve

Answer 1

Any idea how to begin?

Answer 2

Nope.

Answer 3

Is it p = 1\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 4

p / 8 = 12

Multiply 8 on both sides. What do you get?

Answer 5

64

Answer 6

This means "p divided by 8 is equal twelve"

Answer 7

@twilaswift, no, if you multiply p/8 by 8, it cancels the 8 out. You are left with p by itself. But if you do something on one side such as multiplication or addition, you have to do it on the other side too. So multiply 8 by 12. What is 8 x 12?

Answer 8

96

Answer 9

That's right! So put it all together. You have p on one side, and 96 on the other. What is the final equation you have?

Answer 10

p=96?

Answer 11

That's right! Good job. :)
