Question

Which of the following is the solution to the equation

3 over 4y = 24?
y = 18
y = 32
y=64
y= 72

Answer 1

y =32

Explanation:

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

y = 32.

Explanation:

We need to find the value of y. To do so, we need to isolate the variable (y).

The operation here is multiplication. 3/4 times y. We need to get rid of that 3/4 by doing the opposite of multiplication which is division.

So, 24 divided by 0.75 (0.75 is just the decimal form of 3/4) is 32.

3/4 times y DIVIDED by 3/4 cancels out the number and just leaves us with y.

So, we are left with y = 32.

You can check your answer by plugging 32 into the equation.

32 x 0.75 = 24.
