1/4 or 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2 \frac{1}{2} y = \frac{5}{8} [/tex]

Convert Mixed number to improper fraction.

[tex]2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} [/tex]

Equate

[tex] \frac{5}{2} y = \frac{5}{8} [/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]5y \times 8 = 2 \times 5 \\ 40y = 10[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 40

[tex] \frac{40y}{40} = \frac{10}{40} [/tex]

Simplify

[tex]y = \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
