This is an example in the book (A First Course in Probability by Sheldon Ross).

A stick of length 1 is split at a point U that is uniformly distributed over (0,1). Determine the expected length of the piece that contains the point 0≤p≤1.

 

 

So, My doubt here(see the blue mark) is according to proposition g(x) is Lp(U) , what is f(x) why f(x) is not multiplied. in calculating expected value.
