Question

Slove : 28/36 = 14/y

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

i) reduce the fraction with 4

$\frac{28}{36} = \frac{14}{y}$

$\frac{28 \div 4}{36 \div 4} = \frac{14}{y}$

$\frac{7}{9} = \frac{14}{y}$

ii) simplify the equation with cross multiplication

$\frac{7}{9} = \frac{14}{y}$

$7y = 14 \times 9$

$7y = 126$

iii) divide both sides of the equation by 7

$\frac{7y}{7} = \frac{126}{7}$

$y = 18$
