To make the fractions \( \frac{5}{30} \) and \( \frac{1}{y} \) equivalent, we can cross-multiply.
Start with the equation:
\[
\frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{y}
\]
Cross-multiplying gives us:
\[
5y = 30
\]
Next, solve for \( y \):
\[
y = \frac{30}{5}
\]
\[
y = 6
\]
Thus, the number that replaces \( y \) to make the two fractions equivalent is \( 6 \).
