Since the tenths digit of the decimal version of x/16=5 , x must have a value of at least half of 16. That is, x >= 8. Since y > x and y < 10, and both must be integers, x 17 9 must equal exactly 8 and y must equal exactly 9. Thus 17/y=17/9=1 8/9=1.888.
the answer is 8

If the tenths digit of the decimal representation of \(\frac{x}{16}\) is \(5\), then it means that \(\frac{x}{16} = 0.5 = \frac{1}{2} \text{ or
} x=8\)
Since \(y>x\), and \(y<10\), \(y=9\)
\(\text{ So, } \frac{17}{y} = \frac{17}{9} = 1.8888....\)
The hundredth digit of \(1.8888....\) is \(8\)
The answer is \(8\).
