You should subtract 1/5 form both sides leaving you with 2/3p=3/5, then divide both sides by 2/3 to get p. \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\div \frac{ 3 }{ 5}\] you can cancel out the 3s and make them one, resulting in you getting 2/5. Now to make a fraction a decimal you divide the top by the bottom. So you should have gotten 0.4
