SOLVE THE PROPORTION
12/Y =18/6
To solve the proportion 12/y = 18/6, we can cross-multiply.
Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator on one side by the denominator on the other side.
So, we have:
12 * 6 = 18 * y
Simplifying:
72 = 18y
To isolate y, we divide both sides of the equation by 18:
72/18 = 18y/18
Simplifying:
4 = y
Therefore, the solution to the proportion is y = 4.
