what is 7/8y=56

Question

solve the equation with rational coefficients 

Answer 1

To solve 7/8y = 56, try this method.

 

(7/8)*y = 56

 

Multiply both sides of the equation by (8/7).

 

(7/8)*(8/7)*y = 56*(8/7)

 

7/8 * 8/7 is equal to 1 therefore:

 

y = (56*8)/7

 

Divide 56 by 7 and multiply the result by 8 to get the answer.
