Question

Solve for y

6/8 = 15/y

Answer 1

`\sf \: y = 20`

Explanation:

Given equation,

`\sf \rightarrow \: (6)/(8) = (15)/(y)`

Now the value of y will be,

`\sf \rightarrow \: (6)/(8) = (15)/(y)`

`\sf \rightarrow \: 6y = 15 * 8`

`\sf \rightarrow \: 6y = 120`

`\sf \rightarrow \: y = (120)/(6)`

`\sf \rightarrow \boxed{ \sf y = 20}`

Hence, the value of y is 20.

Answer 2

The answer is 20

Explanation:

6/8 = 15/y

(6) × y = (8) × (15)

6y = 120

6y/6 = 120/6

y = 20

Thus, The value of y is 20
