0.5+0.1y=0.03\times 60
Divide 0.03 by \frac{1}{60} by multiplying 0.03 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{60}.
0.5+0.1y=1.8
Multiply 0.03 and 60 to get 1.8.
0.1y=1.8-0.5
Subtract 0.5 from both sides.
0.1y=1.3
Subtract 0.5 from 1.8 to get 1.3.
y=\frac{1.3}{0.1}
Divide both sides by 0.1.
y=13
Expand \frac{1.3}{0.1} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10. Anything divided by one gives itself.
