Question

One-quarter of y is equal to one and a half. What is the value of y? Show the workings

Answer 1

Y is equal to 6.

Explanation:

1/4 y = 1 1/2

1. First, you convert 1 1/2 into an improper fraction. 1 1/2 = 3/2

2. Then, you multiply 3/2 by 4 because 3/2 is 1/4 of y.

3 x 4 = 12

2 x 1 = 2 = 6

So, y is equal to 6.
