9/10Y = 36
Y = 36/(9/10)
Y = 36 * (10/9)
Y = 360/9

The answer of Ms,Sue is wrong.
9 / 10 Y = 36 Multiply both sides with 10 Y
9 = 36 * 10 Y
9 = 360 Y Divide both sides with 9
1 = 40 Y Divide both sides with 40
1 / 40 = Y
Y = 1 / 40
Y = 0.025
9 / 10 Y = 36 Multiply both sides with 10 Y
9 = 36 * 10 Y
9 = 360 Y Divide both sides with 9
1 = 40 Y Divide both sides with 40
1 / 40 = Y
Y = 1 / 40
Y = 0.025

9/10y=36
according to the order of operations,
we only divide by 10 or else Tom should have said
9/(10y) = 36
so Ms Sue took it exactly the way it was written and her answer is correct.
