1. Cross multiply
12y = 5(15)
12y = 75
12y divided by 12 = 1y
75 divided by 12 = 6.25
y = 6.25
5 over 12 = 6.25 over 15
12y = 5(15)
12y = 75
12y divided by 12 = 1y
75 divided by 12 = 6.25
y = 6.25
5 over 12 = 6.25 over 15
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf{{y=\dfrac{25}{4}=6.25}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution: Multiplication property of equation solves this problem.
For the correct answer, you need to isolate Y from one side of the equation.
[tex]\sf{\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{y}{15} }[/tex]
You can also switch sides.
y/15=5/12
Multiply by 15 from both sides.
[tex]\sf{\dfrac{15y}{15}=\dfrac{5*15}{12}}[/tex]
Solve.
5*15=75
75/12
Divide by 3.
75/5=25
12/3=4
Rewrite as a fraction.
[tex]\sf{y=\dfrac{25}{4} }[/tex]
Dividing is another option.
25/4=6.25
[tex]\boxed{\sf{y=\frac{25}{4}=6.25 }}[/tex]
Therefore, the final answer is y=25/4=6.25.
