Question

What is the solution of proportion 3/16 = 9/y

Answer 1

You cross multiply for this one. The answer is y=48

Answer 2

9/48

Explanation:

3 x 3 = 9

16 x 3 = 48

What you do to one side you have to do to the other, so seeing as we times the top number by 3 we have to times the bottom number (16) by 3 as well which makes 48
