Question

If x+y/y =13, what is the value of y/x?

Answer 1

Okay, to solve this we can use cross multiplication:
x+y = 13y
12y = x
Knowing this, we can safely say that
y/x = y/12y
y/12y = 1/12
y/x = 1/12

Answer 2

`(x+y)/(y)=13\\\\(x)/(y)+(y)/(y)=13\\\\(x)/(y)+1=13\ \ \ |-1\\\\(x)/(y)=12\to(y)/(x)=(1)/(12)`
