Question

2/3y = 1/4. y = ___?

3/8
5/12
11/12
2 2/3

Answer 1

First option

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`(2)/(3) y=(1)/(4)`

To find the answer we need to isolate the variable, in order to do that we need to use inverse of operations on this problem.


`(2)/(3) y=(1)/(4)`

`3*(2)/(3) =2`

`(1*3)/(4) =(3)/(4)`

`(2y)/(2) =y`

`(3)/(4) /2=(3)/(8)`

`y=(3)/(8)`

Your answer is "y = 3/8" or the first option.

Hope this helps.
