Answer:
[tex]y = 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{3}{39} = \frac{y}{13} [/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]39 = 39y[/tex]
Divide by 39
[tex]y = 1[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf y=1}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the proportion, we must solve for the variable. This is done by isolating the variable.
[tex]\frac {3}{39}= \frac {y}{13}[/tex]
The variable, y, is being divided by 13. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 13.
[tex]13*\frac {3}{39}= \frac {y}{13}*13[/tex]
[tex]13*\frac {3}{39}=y\\1=y[/tex]
Another way to solve is by cross multiplying. Multiply the 1st numerator by the 2nd denominator, then the 1st denominator and the 2nd numerator.
[tex]\frac {3}{39}= \frac {y}{13}[/tex]
[tex]3*13=39*y\\39=39y[/tex]
Divide both sides by 39 to isolate the variable.
[tex]39/39=39y/39 \\1=y[/tex]
In this proportion, y is equal to 1.
