The number of ounces of lemonade left in Patricia’s glass is p - 1/4 p
.
Part G
Combine the like terms in the expression from part F to create an equivalent expression.
The expression from Part F was p - 1/4 p.
Combining the like terms (which are both in terms of p) would give us:
p - 1/4 p = 3/4 p
To combine like terms in the expression p - 1/4 p, we need to combine the terms that have the same variable, which is "p."
The expression p - 1/4 p can be rewritten as follows:
p - (1/4)p
To combine the terms, we need to find a common denominator for the coefficients of p, which is 4.
The expression can be written as:
(4/4)p - (1/4)p
Now that we have the same denominator, we can combine the terms:
(4 - 1) / 4 p
Simplifying further:
(3/4) p
Therefore, the equivalent expression to p - 1/4 p is (3/4) p.
