9/24=3/y how do we get the answer to this question

Because it is an equation, we know that whatever is on both sides of the equation must be equal. The initial fraction, 9/24, can be further simplified (both numbers made smaller, divided by a common factor). In this case, 9/24 must be divided by something to be equal to 3/y (the y just means we don’t know it’s value yet). If we know that we can divide 9 by 3 to get 3, then we can divide the denominator of the first side of the equation (24) by 3 to get our answer to y.

Basically, in this case we need to find what number to divide 9 by to end up with 3 (that is 3, as 3x3=9) and divide 24 by that number. 24 divided by 3 is 8, as 3x8=24. So, if we know we can reduce 9/24 into 3/8, we can write that as 9/24=3/8. Therefore, y=8.
