Question

Solve the proportion 9/2 = 27/2y

Answer 1

y = 3

Explanation:

We need to solve the below proportion in this problem,

`(9)/(2)=(27)/(2y)`

First of all, we cross multiply both sides such that,

`9* 2y=27* 2\\\\18y=27* 2`

Dividing both sides by 18.

`y=(27* 2)/(18)\\\\y=3`

For the above proportion, we find that the value of y is equal to 3.
