Solve 54/0.52=48/y

$$\frac { 54 } { 0.52 } = \frac { 48 } { y }$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{104}{225}\approx 0.462222222$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.

$$y\times \frac{54}{0.52}=48$$

Expand \frac{54}{0.52} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$y\times \frac{5400}{52}=48$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{5400}{52} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$y\times \frac{1350}{13}=48$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{13}{1350}, the reciprocal of \frac{1350}{13}.

$$y=48\times \frac{13}{1350}$$

Express 48\times \frac{13}{1350} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{48\times 13}{1350}$$

Multiply 48 and 13 to get 624.

$$y=\frac{624}{1350}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{624}{1350} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$y=\frac{104}{225}$$
