8.Solve the equation \(1.6 = \frac { y }{ 1.5 }\)

We have: \(1.6 = \frac { y }{ 1.5 }\)
\(\Rightarrow 1.6 × 1.5 = \frac { y }{ 1.5 } × 1.5 \quad\) (multiplying both sides by 1.5)

\(\Rightarrow\) 2.40 = y

Thus, y = 2.40 is the required solution.

Check:

Keep y=2.40 in the given solution

R.H.S=\(\frac{y}{1.5}=\frac{2.4}{1.5}=1.6\)=L.H.S

Hence y=2.40 is the required solution.
