Answer 2

Answer:

y = 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{0.5y}{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{y+3}{8}$

$\frac{0.5y}{1}\times \frac{9}{4}=\frac{y+3}{8}$

$\frac{4.5y}{4}=\frac{y+3}{8}$

By cross multiplication,

8(4.5y) = 4(y + 3)

36y = 4y + 12

36y - 4y = 12

32y = 12

y = $\frac{12}{32}$

y = $\frac{3}{8}$

y = 0.375

Therefore, y = 0.375 will be the answer.
