Question

1.6=y/1.5 solve the following equation.

Answer 1

The value of y in the equation $\bold{1.6=\frac{y}{1.5} \text { is } 2.4}$.

Solution:

To find the solution of y, we change the decimal into fractions to solve the equations very easily and to find the value of y.

Convert 1.6 into $\frac{8}{5}$ and 1.5 into $\frac{3}{2}$  

After conversion of decimal into fraction we get,

$\frac{8}{5}=\frac{y}{\frac{3}{2}}$  

Taking $\frac{3}{2}$  to the R.H.S, and by multiplying $\frac{8}{5} \text { and } \frac{3}{2}$, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{8}{5} \times \frac{3}{2}=y} \\\\ {\frac{12}{5}=y} \\ \\\bold{{y=2.4}\end{array}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$The \: value \: of \: y = 2.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given\: simple\: equation:\\1.6=\frac{y}{1.5}$

/* Multiply both sides of the equation by 1.5, we get

$\implies 1.6\times 1.5=\frac{y}{1.5}\times 1.5$

$\implies 2.4 = y$

Therefore,

$The \: value \: of \: y = 2.4$
