Question

What is y in 16y = 36?

Answer 1

Y=2.25

Explanation:

16y=36

16y is multiplication so to undo multiplication you need to divide

16 ➗ 16 gets the y by itself

36 ➗ 16 equals 2.25

so Y=2.25

You could check by doing 16 times 2.25 which is 36

Answer 2

9/4

Explanation:

16y = 36

divide both sides by 16

y = 36/16

36/16 can be simplified to 9/4 (by dividing numerator and denominator both by 4)

= 9/4
