Answer:
p = 0.09375
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify the fractions within the fractions first to make it easier:
[tex]\frac{3}{10} = 0.3[/tex] and [tex]\frac{4}{5} = 0.8[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]
set up the equation then cross multiply:
[tex]\frac{0.3}{p} =\frac{0.8}{0.25}[/tex]
0.3 x 0.25 = p (0.8)
0.075 = 0.8p
divide both sides by 0.8:
p = 0.09375
