You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solve for a??
:
p = f/a
:
First get 'a' out of the denominator: mult both sides by a and you have:
a*p = a*(f/a)
:
The a's on the right cancel
a*p = f
:
We want 'a' on the left by itself. Divide both sides by p and you have:
a*(p/p) = f/p
:
p/p = 1 so you have:
a = (f/p)
:
