Blue book Math question

<p>Blue book page 682
Section 9
12) If n=3p, for what value of p is n=p?
a)0
b)1/3
c)1
d)3
e)n can never equal p</p>

<p>The answer is 0, but I had picked E.
I thought if p equals 0 than n/p becomes illogical since the divisor cant equal 0
And since n/p = 3, how could p become 0?</p>

2

<p>The same things here too</p>

<p>Hey, if you like, you can drop by this, I am asking some questions upon Math and 1 upon Sentence Completion, try them. There is scanned images as well. If I remember well (SAT anesthetises my brain anyhow), then I did have to redraw a gemotric question by Paint so it looks quite like crap, but other than that it is OK.</p>

<p>If p=0, n=3(0)=0.</p>

5

<p>I still don’t get it?!?!?</p>

<p>well, I suppose I’ll try a different approach then…</p>

<p>if you think about n=3p as the graph of y=3x, and n=p as y=x, the place where the two graphs intersect is (0,0).</p>

<p>Oh, Oh, I see, brilliant teacher. Thanks</p>
