Question. 5
If \(\tfrac{5}{8}=\tfrac{20}{p}\), then the value of \(p\) is
(A)
23
(B)
2
(C)
32
(D)
16
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
We have: ( frac{5}{8} = frac{20}{p} ).
- Cross-multiply: ( 5 imes p = 8 imes 20 ).
- Compute right side: ( 8 imes 20 = 160 ).
- So: ( 5p = 160 ).
- Divide by ( 5 ): ( p = frac{160}{5} ).
- Compute: ( frac{160}{5} = 32 ).
Therefore, ( p = 32 ). (Option C)
