Question

2/3=x/6=9/y to find the value of y in this proportion you must divide 54 by

Answer 1

Answer:

You must divide $54$ by $4$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{6}=\frac{9}{y}$

Step 1

Solve for x

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{6}$

$3x=6*2\\x=12/3\\x=4$

Step 2

Find the value of y

$\frac{x}{6}=\frac{9}{y}$

Substitute the value of x

$\frac{4}{6}=\frac{9}{y}$

$4y=9*6\\y=54/4\\y= 13.5$

therefore

You must divide $54$ by $4$

Answer 2

2 : 3 = x : 6
x · 3 = 2 · 6
x = 12 : 3
x = 4
We have second part of a proportion:
4 : 6 = 9 : y
y · 4 = 9 · 6
y = 54 : 4 = 13.5
Answer: we must divide 54 by 4.
