To determine

To solve the proportion.

Answer to Problem 4E

The solution of the given proportion is $y=18$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information : the proportion given as,

  $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{y}{24}$

Calculation : the given proportion can be calculated as,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{4}=\frac{y}{24}\\ \frac{3}{4}\cdot 24=\frac{y}{24}\cdot 24\left[\text{multiply each side by 24}\right]\\ \frac{72}{4}=y\left[\text{simplify}\right]\\ y=18\left[\text{divide}\right]\end{array}$

Therefore,

The solution of the given proportion is $y=18$ .
