Answer

$t=\dfrac{4r}{3p^2}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality to solve for $t,$ the given equation, $p=2\sqrt{\dfrac{r}{3t}},$ is equivalent to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} (p)^2&=\left(2\sqrt{\dfrac{r}{3t}}\right)^2 \\\\ p^2&=\left(2\right)^2\left(\sqrt{\dfrac{r}{3t}}\right)^2 \\\\ p^2&=4\left(\dfrac{r}{3t}\right) \\\\ p^2&=\dfrac{4r}{3t} \\\\ 3t(p^2)&=\left(\dfrac{4r}{3t}\right)3t \\\\ t(3p^2)&=4r \\\\ \dfrac{t(\cancel{3p^2})}{\cancel{3p^2}}&=\dfrac{4r}{3p^2} \\\\ t&=\dfrac{4r}{3p^2} .\end{align*} Hence, in terms of $t,$ the given equation is equivalen to $t=\dfrac{4r}{3p^2}$.
