| ① | Divide both the top and bottom numbers by $ \color{orangered}{ 2 } $. |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{25}{9} $ by $ y $ to get $ \dfrac{ 25y }{ 9 } $. Step 1: Write $ y $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{25}{9} \cdot y & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{25}{9} \cdot \frac{y}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 25 \cdot y }{ 9 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 25y }{ 9 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ③ | Subtract $10$ from $ \dfrac{25y}{9} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 25y-90 } }{ 9 }$. Step 1: Write $ 10 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
