9/10Y = 36
What is Y
9/10Y = 36
Y = 36/(9/10)
Y = 36 * (10/9)
Y = 360/9
Y = ?
The answer of Ms,Sue is wrong.
9 / 10 Y = 36 Multiply both sides with 10 Y
9 = 36 * 10 Y
9 = 360 Y Divide both sides with 9
1 = 40 Y Divide both sides with 40
1 / 40 = Y
Y = 1 / 40
Y = 0.025

9/10y=36
according to the order of operations,
we only divide by 10 or else Tom should have said
9/(10y) = 36
so Ms Sue took it exactly the way it was written and her answer is correct.
To find the value of Y in the equation 9/10Y = 36, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Understand the equation
The equation states that 9/10 of Y is equal to 36.
Step 2: Isolate Y
To isolate Y, we need to get rid of the fraction. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction, which is 10/9. Multiplying both sides by 10/9, we get:
(10/9) * (9/10Y) = (10/9) * 36
Simplifying the left side, the 9/10 and 10/9 cancel out, leaving us with just Y:
1Y = (360/9)
Simplifying the right side, 10/9 and 36 simplify to 40:
Y = 40
So, the value of Y is 40.
