Question

Solve the proportion for y:

15/2


75/y
y =

Answer 1

To solve the proportion \( \frac{15}{2} = \frac{75}{y} \), you can use cross-multiplication.

Cross-multiply: \[ 15y = 2 \times 75 \]

Calculating the right side: \[ 15y = 150 \]

Now, divide both sides by 15 to solve for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{150}{15} \]

Calculating the division: \[ y = 10 \]

So, the solution is: \[ y = 10 \]
