(a) \( \frac{6 y}{6}=\frac{35}{6} \)

When simplifying the left side, the \(6\) in the numerator and denominator cancel each other out, resulting in \(y = \frac{35}{6}\). This gives you a simplified expression for \(y\) which can be further translated into a mixed number for easier interpretation. In mixed number form, \(\frac{35}{6}\) is \(5 \frac{5}{6}\). This mix of fractions and whole numbers can be quite handy, especially in real-world scenarios such as measurement conversions or dividing resources where whole numbers are more practical. You’ve cracked the code of fractions!
