Question 715576
Simple equations can be solved by "undoing" what was done to the variable (Y or x, or whatever).
{{{y}}} was divided by {{{16}}}, and if you multiply times {{{16}}} you get back to {{{Y}}}.
So, multiplying both sides of the equal sign times {{{16}}} you get the solution.
{{{Y/16 = 1.2/0.6}}}
{{{(Y/16)*16 = (1.2/0.6)*16}}}
{{{highlight(Y=32)}}}
 
The calculation may seem complicated but
{{{1.2/0.6=12/6=2}}}
