Question

Y/8=5 I don’t know where to start

Answer 1

Answer: so what you want to do is you have the equation.

Y/8=5

so you can just say it's Y divided by 8 = 5.

The inverse operation of division is multiplication.

so know it would be y×8=5. so you would multiply 8 by 5. which would be 40 so y=40. a way to check it is subsituting 40 for Y. 40/8=5

Answer 2

Answer: y = 40

Explanation: In this problem, notice that y is being divided by 8 so to

get y by itself, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 4.

So we have (8)(y/8) = (5)(8).

Noice that on the left side, the 8 and 8

cancel each other out so we're just left with y.

On the right side, we have (5)(8) which is 40.

So we have y = 40.
