Question

Solve the proportion 9/2 = 27/2y

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the below proportion in this problem,

$\dfrac{9}{2}=\dfrac{27}{2y}$

First of all, we cross multiply both sides such that,

$9\times 2y=27\times 2\\\\18y=27\times 2$

Dividing both sides by 18.

$y=\dfrac{27\times 2}{18}\\\\y=3$

For the above proportion, we find that the value of y is equal to 3.
