Answer 1

y=28/5

Explanation:

Okay so for this we can use cross- multiplication. Basically, the product of the numerator of the first number and the denominator of the second is equal to the product of the denominator of the first and the numerator of the second.

What I mean is: 4*7=5*y

so,

28=5y

y=28/5
