Question

2/3 y = 1/4. y = ___? A. 3/8 B. 5/12 C. 11/12 D. 2 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3}$ y = $\frac{1}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 3

2y = 3 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

Divide both sides by 2

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ ÷ 2 = $\frac{3}{4}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$
