Question

solve the proportion 42/15=p/10

Answer 1

Consider the given proportion,

$\frac{42}{15}=\frac{p}{10}$

Cross multiplying in the above equation, we get

$42 \times 10 = p \times 15$

Dividing both sides of the above equation by 15, we get

$\frac{42 \times 10}{15} = p$

$p = 14 \times 2$

p = 28

So, the value of 'p' in the given proportion is '28'.
