8:60 = 4:p
You asked:
Solve \(8 : 60=4 : p\) for the variable \(p\).
MathBot Answer:
$$\begin{aligned}p &= 30\end{aligned}$$
Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{8}{60} = \frac{4}{p}\]
Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{8}{60} &= \frac{4}{p} \\ 8 p &= 240 \\ p &&= 30 \end{aligned}$$
