Solve for y and round to the nearest tenth.

This equation involves a mixed number and rounding. First convert the mixed numberinto a decimal. Five divided by eight equals 0.625, so the mixed number becomes 2.625. The equation now reads:

2.625y + 0.25 = 64.

Subtract 0.25 from both sides to isolate the term with y:

2.625y = 63.75.

Next, divide both sides by 2.625:

y ≈ 24.2857.

The question asks for the answer rounded to the nearest tenth. Rounding 24.2857 gives 24.3. Therefore, option A is correct. NEX math questions frequently combine fractions, decimals, and rounding, so converting to decimals early helps reduce errors.
