Question

What does y equal in y/-3 =1/6? PLEASE HELP WILL GOVE BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Y=-1/2

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction. Set this equal to the product of the denominator of the first fraction and the numerator of the second fraction.(y)⋅(6)=(−3)⋅(1)

Simplify the left side.6y=(−3)⋅(1)6y=(-3)⋅(1)
Simplify the right side.6y=−36y=-3
Divide each term by 66 and simplify.y=-1/2
