The solution of proportion: $\frac{5}{30}=\frac{y}{6}$ is $y=1$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Consider, the proportion $\frac{5}{30}=\frac{y}{6}$

Calculation:

Therefore, the proportion is

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{5}{30}=\frac{y}{6}\\ 5\cdot 6=30\cdot y\left[\text{cross product}\right]\\ 30=30y\left[\text{multiply}\right]\\ y=\frac{30}{30}\left[\text{cross product}\right]\\ y=1\left[\text{divide}\right]\end{array}$

Hence ,thepercentage $\frac{5}{30}=\frac{y}{6}$ is $y=1$ .
