Concept used:
As we know that from the definition, a mathematical equation signifying equality of two ratios is called as proportions. Proportion is used when three quantities are known and the fourth quantity is unknown. We can use equality of two ratios for finding the fourth unknown quantity. For example,
ab=cd
Calculation:
In the given proportion,
y6=742
By using, cross-multiplication method, we get
42y=6×7
y=6×742=1
Conclusion:
The value of y is 1.
