cross multiply


(3.6)/(y) =(1.2)/(2)

= 3.6 * 2

= 7.2

7.2 / 1.2

= 6

I think the question is supposed to be 3.6/y = 1.2/2

STEP 1: Divide 1.2 by 2 to get 0.6

3.6/y = 0.6

STEP 2: Multiply each term by y and simplify

3.6 = 0.6y

STEP 3: Since y is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation

0.6y = 3.6

STEP 4: Divide each term by 0.6 and simplify

y = 6

SO, THE ANSWER IS...

y = 6
