Question 983771
.
<pre>
All you need is to multiply both sides by the factor (the fraction) of {{{5/2}}}, which is reciprocal to {{{2/5}}}.  Then you will get 


{{{(5/2)*(2/5)*p}}} = {{{(5/2)*(3/5)}}},


or, after canceling common factors in numerators and denominators,


p = {{{3/2}}}.


It is the same as  p = 1.5,  and either  p = {{{3/2}}}  or  p = 1.5  is your answer.
