Answer:
p = 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, simply take the words of the problem and convert them into an equation as such:
The difference of p and one-sixth implies --> p - 1/6
is two-thirds implies --> 2/3
So, our equation:
p - 1/6 = 2/3
Now simply solve for p, and combine the fractions.
p - 1/6 = 2/3
p - 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/3 + 1/6
p = 2/3 + 1/6
p = 4/6 + 1/6
p = 5/6
Cheers.
