Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
7/8y + 1/2 = 1 1/5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Convert to improper fraction: 7/8y + 1/2 = 6/5
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 1/2 on both sides: 7/8y = 7/10
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 7/8 on both sides: y = 4/5
