The expression "the product of 269 and Y" represents a multiplication between these two numbers and the expression "equals 40" means that the multiplication of the previous numbers is equal to 40. With this in mind we can write the sentence as a math expression as shown below:


269\cdot Y=40

To solve this expression we need to divide both sides by 269.


\begin{gathered} (269\cdot Y)/(269)=(40)/(269) \\ Y=(40)/(269) \end{gathered}
