Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

7/8y + 1/2 = 1 1/5

Step 2: Solve for y

  1. Convert to improper fraction:                                                                          7/8y + 1/2 = 6/5
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 1/2 on both sides:                       7/8y = 7/10
  3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 7/8 on both sides:                              y = 4/5
