Given :
y/-8 = 1/16
Determine the value of y.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of y, we simply need to multiply -8, on both sides of the equation to cancel out y/-8.
y/-8 = 1/6
(-8) y/-8 = (-8)(1/6)
y = -8/6
Simplify the given fraction to its lowest term by factoring out 2
y = -4/3
Final answer:
y = -4/3
