Question

how do you solve 5/8 y=1/2

Answer 1

\[5y=(1/2)*8\]
\[5y = 4\]
\[y=4/5\]

Answer 2

5\8y=1\2
=)y=1\2*8\5
=)y=4\5

Answer 3

check the common denominator what is 8y - so and after you will get

5=4y from what y=5/4

Answer 4

or if you want to write (5y)/8 = 1/2 so than you get 5y=4 and y= 4/5
