3 5 1 − 1 10 3 = p + 6 5 3 10 2 − 1 10 3 − 6 5 = p p = 2 10 12 − 1 10 3 − 6 5 p = 1 10 9 − 6 5 p = 1 30 27 − 30 25 p = 1 30 2 p = 1 15 1
61/15 or 1 1/15 ;
To find p , we converted the mixed numbers to improper fractions, performed the subtraction, and isolated p . After calculations, we found that p = 1 15 1 .
