To solve the equation for p, we can first apply the cross product method, that is, we multiply the numerator and denominator that each line of the "X" connects.
Then, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{p}=\frac{11}{2} \\ 4\cdot2=11\cdot p \\ 8=11p \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we divide by 11 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{11}=\frac{11p}{11} \\ \boldsymbol{\frac{8}{11}=p} \\ \text{ or} \\ 0.72=p \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the value of p that satisfies the given equation is 8/11 or 0.72.
