Answer 1

Answer: 4 times y divided by 9

4y= 4 times y or 4x y

* Note that whenever a letter is next to a number , like 3x or 10s, or 9u, it means to multiply, no matter what the letter is. You can also have multiple letters next to a number and you still are supposed to multiply. For example 10xygd, or 4ac, etc.

now divided by 9

4 times y divided by 9
