Math Problem Statement

r=q over p solve for q

Solution

To solve the equation r=qpr = \frac{q}{p} for qq, follow these steps:

  1. Isolate qq by multiplying both sides of the equation by pp to eliminate the fraction:

    r×p=qp×pr \times p = \frac{q}{p} \times p

  2. The pp on the right side cancels out:

    rp=qrp = q

  3. Therefore, the solution for qq is:

    q=rpq = rp

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How would you solve for pp in the equation r=qpr = \frac{q}{p}?
  2. What would the equation look like if qq had an additional term, like r=q+spr = \frac{q + s}{p}?
  3. How would you solve the equation if rr were a more complex expression, like r=qp+tr = \frac{q}{p} + t?
  4. What if rr was a function of qq and pp, such as r(q,p)=q2pr(q, p) = \frac{q^2}{p}?
  5. How would you approach solving for qq if the equation was r=qpr = \frac{q}{p} but qq and pp were both in terms of another variable?

Tip: When dealing with equations involving fractions, a useful first step is to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator.
