TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Given

The given proportion is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{y}{24} .$

Step 2. To determine

We have to solve the proportion $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{y}{24} .$

Step 3. Calculation

Solve the given proportion.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{3}{4} = \frac{y}{24} \\ \frac{3}{4} \cdot 24 = \frac{y}{24} \cdot 24 [multiply each side by 24] \\ \frac{72}{4} = y [simplify] \\ y = 18 [divide] \end{matrix}$

So, the solution is $y = 18$ .
