Question

Solve the proportion. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. 9/(y +1) = 18/54 *

22

18

30

26

Answer 1

Answer: y=26

Explanation: because if 18/54 was equivalent to 9/(y+1) and 9 is half than 18 then (y+1) would have to be equal to half of 54 which is 27. So if y+1 equals 27 then y would have to equal 26!
