Answer

$\dfrac{3(y-2)}{4(2y+3)}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ \dfrac{\dfrac{y-2}{16}}{\dfrac{2y+3}{12}} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{y-2}{16}\div\dfrac{2y+3}{12} \\\\= \dfrac{y-2}{16}\cdot\dfrac{12}{2y+3} \\\\= \dfrac{y-2}{\cancel{4}\cdot4}\cdot\dfrac{\cancel{4}\cdot3}{2y+3} \\\\= \dfrac{3(y-2)}{4(2y+3)} .\end{array}
