(5/11) / ( y/1) = (5/44) 10 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

pleze help me and please tell me how you solved it if you can

Answer 1

( 5 / 11) = (5/44) * y

(5/11)/(5/44) = y

Then multiply the 2 fractions. I think you can take it from there.

Answer 2

(5/11) x (1/y) = 5/44   to go from dividing to multiply u flip the 2nd fraction

5/ 11y = 5/44          because the numerators are the same the                                                        _________________denominators have to be equal as well

11y = 44                      divide by 11



y= 4

Answer 3

(5/11) / (y/1) = (5/44)

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by that fraction's reciprocal:

(5/11) / (y/1) = (5/44)

(5/11) * (1/y) = (5/44)

When you multiply fractions, you multiply the numerator by the numerator, and the denominator by the denominator (top*top over bottom*bottom):

(5/11) * (1/y) = (5/44)

(5*1)/(11*y) = (5/44)

(5/11y) = (5/44)

We want to find the value of the variable y, by getting it all by itself on one side of the equation, and multiplied only by 1.

You can add/subtract/multiply/divide by the same amount on both sides of an equals equation and still maintain the equality.

(5/11y) = (5/44)

(5/11y)/5 = (5/44)/5

(1/11y) = (1/44)

11y*(1/11y) = 11y*(1/44)

1 = (11y/44)

1 = (1/4)*y

4*1 = 4*(1/4)*y

4 = y

Alternately, you could note that (y/1) is the same thing as saying y, so:

(5/11) / (y/1) = (5/44)

(5/11) / y = (5/44)

y*(5/11) / y = y*(5/44)

(5/11) = (5/44)*y

(44/5)*(5/11) = (44/5)*(5/44)*y

4 = y

Answer 4

Remember:

you are trying to get y on its own

you have to do the same to both sides of an equation

(5/11) / ( y/1) = (5/44) - multiply both sides by y/1

(5/11) = (5y/44) - multiply both sides by 44

20 = 5y - divide both sides by 5

y = 4

OR

(5/11) ÷ ( y/1) = (5/44)

(5/11) * (1/y) = (5/44)

across the top 5*1 = 5

--------------------------------------...

across the bottom 11* y = 44

y = 4
