Question

Marking brainliest if correct Solve the PROPORTION 3/4 = 1/2y y=

Answer 1

Answer:

y=1 1/2 (fraction)

or

y=1.5 (decimal)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to get y alone, so we need to get rid of the 1/2 in front of it. To do that we can multiply each side by 2 since 1/2 + 1/2 = 1.

3/4= 1/2y

multiply each side by 2

To multiply 3/4 by 2 you need to multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators

2•3=6 & 4 • 1 =4

6/4

simplify

y=1 1/2

(If you need it in decimal form it would be y=1.5)
