Question

2/3=x/6=9/y to find the value of y in this proportion you must divide 54 by

Answer 1

2 : 3 = x : 6
x · 3 = 2 · 6
x = 12 : 3
x = 4
We have second part of a proportion:
4 : 6 = 9 : y
y · 4 = 9 · 6
y = 54 : 4 = 13.5
Answer: we must divide 54 by 4.

Answer 2

You must divide
`54` by
`4`

Explanation:

we have

`(2)/(3)=(x)/(6)=(9)/(y)`

Step 1

Solve for x

`(2)/(3)=(x)/(6)`

`3x=6*2\\x=12/3\\x=4`

Step 2

Find the value of y

`(x)/(6)=(9)/(y)`

Substitute the value of x

`(4)/(6)=(9)/(y)`

`4y=9*6\\y=54/4\\y= 13.5`

therefore

You must divide
`54` by
`4`
