Answer:

0.3

Explanation:

0.8/y = 2 : 3/4

The value of y in the above expression can be obtained as follow:

0.8/y = 2 : 3/4

0.8/y = 2 ÷ 3/4

0.8/y = 2 × 4/3

0.8/y = 8/3

Cross multiply

0.8 × 3 = y × 8

2.4 = 8y

Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e 8

y = 2.4/8

y = 0.3

Thus, the value of y is 0.3
