so we just do
cost/number of people=cost per 1 person
so
(6p)/(3p^2)
remember that you can split it up and make ones
[tex] \frac{6p}{3p^{2}} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{6}{3p} [/tex] times [tex] \frac{p}{p} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{2}{1p} [/tex] times [tex] \frac{p}{p} [/tex] times [tex] \frac{3}{3} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{2}{1p} [/tex] times 1 times 1=2/p
easy way is
remember that
(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)
so
(6p)(3p^2)=6/(3p=2/p=2p^-1
each member pays 2/p
