Answer:

y = -
(4)/(3)

Explanation:

Given

-
(1)/(2) =
(3)/(8) y

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions

- 4 = 3y ( divide both sides by 3 )

-
(4)/(3) = y

Answer:

-4/3 .

Explanation:

-1/2 = 3/8y

Divide both sides by 3/8:

-1/2 / 3/8 = y

y = -1/2 * 8/3

y = - 8/6

= -4/3 (answer).
