Question

If $\frac{5}{8}=\frac{20}{p}$, Then value of $p$ is :

Answer 1

Consider

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{20}{p}$

On cross multiplication

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{8}=\frac{20}{p} \\ \Rightarrow 5\times p=20\times 8 \\ \Rightarrow p=\frac{20\times 8}{5} \\ \Rightarrow p=4\times 8 \\ \Rightarrow p=32 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $p$ is $32$
