I'm assuming that you want to know when the letter "y" is a vowel.

It's mostly a matter of sound. The y in yellow is a consonant, because of the way it's pronounced ( and being followed by a vowel helps, too ). At the end of a word like baby, the y is used to make a separate syllable, so it's a vowel.

For more fun, try and figure out when a "w" is a vowel.

Is the statement x billion is greater than y million always sometimes or never true when the values of x and y are greater than zero?

sometimes The statement X billion is greater than Y million is sometimes true when the values of X and Y are greater than zero. It is only sometimes true because it is not true when the value of Y is more than 1,000 times greater than X, but it is true when the value of Y is less than 1,000 times greater than X.
