The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((\frac{6}{5})/(\frac{12}{2y}-\frac{5}{y})=1\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ \frac{6/5}{\frac{12}{2y} - \frac{5}{y}} = 1 \] ### Step 2: Multiply both sides by the denominator To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides by \(\left(\frac{12}{2y} - \frac{5}{y}\right)\): \[ \frac{6}{5} = \frac{12}{2y} - \frac{5}{y} \] ### Step 3: Find a common denominator for the right side The common denominator for \(\frac{12}{2y}\) and \(\frac{5}{y}\) is \(2y\). We rewrite the right side: \[ \frac{12}{2y} - \frac{5}{y} = \frac{12 - 10}{2y} = \frac{2}{2y} = \frac{1}{y} \] ### Step 4: Set the equation Now we have: \[ \frac{6}{5} = \frac{1}{y} \] ### Step 5: Cross-multiply to solve for \(y\) Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 6y = 5 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(y\) Now, divide both sides by 6: \[ y = \frac{5}{6} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(y\) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{5}{6}} \]
