Question

How do you solve this? Y x 49/36=7/12

Answer 1

Divide both sides by 49/36 to get y by itself:

$\frac{7}{12} \div \frac{49}{36}$

$\frac{7}{12} \times \frac{36}{49} = \frac{254}{588}$

Simplify this fraction:

$\frac{254}{588} \div \frac{2}{2} = \frac{127}{294}$

Now you have your answer:

$y = \frac{127}{294}$
