The equation you provided seems to be a bit unclear. It appears that you might be trying to express \( \frac{3}{8}y = 2 \frac{7}{8} \) in terms of some value or to solve for \( y \).
First, let's convert the mixed number \( 2 \frac{7}{8} \) into an improper fraction:
\[ 2 \frac{7}{8} = 2 + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{16}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{23}{8} \]
Now, we can rewrite the equation as:
\[ \frac{3}{8}y = \frac{23}{8} \]
To solve for \( y \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{8} \), which is \( \frac{8}{3} \):
\[ y = \frac{23}{8} \times \frac{8}{3} \]
When we perform this multiplication, the \( 8 \) cancels out:
\[ y = \frac{23}{3} \]
So, the solution is:
\[ y = \frac{23}{3} \text{ or } 7 \frac{2}{3} \]
