We are given with an expression and we need to solve for y , so let's start with the given first :

${:\implies \quad \sf (y)/(9)=(8)/(12)}$

Multiply both sides by 9 ;

${:\implies \quad \sf 9* (y)/(9)=9* (8)/(12)}$

Simplifying will yield ;

${:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{y=6}}}$

Henceforth, the required value is 6

Given Equation :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (y)/(9) = ( 8)/(12)$

To Find :

By doing cross multiplication we get :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: y(12) = 9(8)$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 12y = 72$

Dividing both sides by 12 we get :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: (12y)/(12) = (72)/(12)$

$\qquad \bf \dashrightarrow \: y = 6$

To Check :

$\sf \dashrightarrow L. H.S = (y)/(9) \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow L. H.S = (6)/(9) \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow L. H.S = (2)/(3) \\$

$\sf \dashrightarrow R. H.S = (8)/(12) \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow R. H.S = (2)/(3)$

Therefore,
