hence the value of y is 17

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of y is 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have been given to find the value of the variable y in the following ratio. For this we write the below-given ratio as follows:

18:27 = 34:y

$\frac{18}{27} = \frac{34}{y}$

We will cross multiply the given numbers as follows;

⇒18 × y = 34 × 27

⇒ 18y = 918

⇒ y = 918 ÷ 18

⇒ y = 51

Hence the value of the variable y is 51.
