Question

*HELP PLEASE* Will get BRAINLIEST answer

Answer 1

Another way to get the answer is to divide 5/8 which equals .625. then take .625 and multiply by nine

Answer 2

Cross multiply:

5 * 9 = 8 * y

Simplifying

5 * 9 = 8 * y

Multiply 5 * 9

45 = 8 * y

Solving

45 = 8y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8y' to each side of the equation.

45 + -8y = 8y + -8y

Combine like terms: 8y + -8y = 0

45 + -8y = 0

Add '-45' to each side of the equation.

45 + -45 + -8y = 0 + -45

Combine like terms: 45 + -45 = 0

0 + -8y = 0 + -45

-8y = 0 + -45

Combine like terms: 0 + -45 = -45

-8y = -45

Divide each side by '-8'.

y = 5.625

Simplifying

y = 5.625
