You entered the following equivalent proportions:
| 6y | |
| 5 |
| = |
| 192 |
| 1 |
Define the proportion formula:
If 2 proportions are equal:
we can cross multiply to get:
Numerator 1 Denominator 1
=
Numerator 2 Denominator 2 Numerator 1 * Denominator 2 = Denominator 1 * Numerator 2
Solving for Numerator 1 we get:
| Numerator 1 = | Denominator 1 * Numerator 2 |
| Denominator 2 |
Evaluate and simplfy
| 6y = | 5 * 192 |
| 1 |
| 6y = | 960 |
| 1 |
6y = 960
Divide each side by 6
| 6y | |
| 6 |
| = |
| 960 |
| 6 |
Final Answer
y = 160
