The value of y in the triangle is 7.5

<h3>How to calculate the value of y?</h3>

The given parameter is the triangle

On the triangle, we have the following equivalent ratio

y : 8 = y + 15 : 20

Express as fraction

y/8 = y + 15/20

Cross multiply

20y = 8y + 90

Collect the like terms

20y - 8y = 90

Evaluate

12y = 90

Divide by 12

y = 7.5

Hence, the value of y in the triangle is 7.5

Simplify the complex fraction. 8/5 divide by 6 3/4 *

hichkok12 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{5}$ ÷6 $\frac{3}{4}$

First, simplify the 6 $\frac{3}{4}$ to an improper fraction, which is:

$\frac{27}{4}$

Next rewrite the equation using the improper fraction:

$\frac{8}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{27}{4}$

Now, in order to divide the fraction, we will need to flip the second fraction over, and then multiply the two fractions together. A great way to remember this is the phrase <em>Copy Dot Flip - </em>Copy the first fraction, put a dot for multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

$\frac{8}{5}$ · $\frac{4}{27}$

Finally, multiply together and simplify/reduce if needed:

<u>The final answer is </u> $\frac{32}{135}$ <u> and no simplification or reduction is needed</u>
