y = 0.86 (option 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven: 4.8/y = 17.9/3.2


\begin{gathered} (4.8)/(y)=(17.9)/(3.2) \\ \text{cross multiply:} \\ 4.8(3.2)\text{ = y(17.9)} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 15.36\text{ = 17.9y} \\ \text{diviode both sides by 17.9:} \\ (15.36)/(17.9)=\text{ }\frac{\text{17.9y}}{17.9} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 0.858\text{ = y} \\ y\text{ = 0.858} \\ To\text{ the nearest hundredth, y = }0.86\text{ (option 1)} \end{gathered}
