1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $\frac{y}{x} = 1.1$ for $y$ in terms of $x$. 2. **Formula and rules:** The equation $\frac{y}{x} = 1.1$ means that $y$ divided by $x$ equals 1.1. To isolate $y$, multiply both sides of the equation by $x$ (assuming $x \neq 0$). 3. **Intermediate work:** $$\frac{y}{x} = 1.1$$ Multiply both sides by $x$: $$y = 1.1 \times x$$ 4. **Explanation:** Multiplying both sides by $x$ cancels the denominator on the left side, leaving $y$ alone. The right side becomes $1.1$ times $x$, which expresses $y$ as a function of $x$. **Final answer:** $$y = 1.1x$$
