"the quotient of a number p and 3 is at most 16" the number is p "the quotient of a number p and 3" is just like saying 3/p "is at most 16" is [tex] \leq 16[/tex] add them together to get [tex] \frac{3}{p} \leq 16[/tex] multiply both sides by p to get [tex]3 \leq 16p[/tex] divide both sides by 16 to get [tex]p \leq \frac{3}{16} [/tex]
