Identify Cross-Multiplication: Identify the cross-multiplication that can be done with the given proportion.To solve for y, we can cross-multiply the terms in the proportion 116=3y.
Perform Cross-Multiplication: Perform the cross-multiplication. Cross-multiplying gives us 6×3=11×y.
Simplify Multiplication: Simplify the multiplication. 6×3=18 and 11×y=11y, so we have 18=11y.
Solve for y: Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 11. Dividing both sides by 11 gives us y=1118.
Simplify Division: Simplify the division to find the value of y.y=1118 is already in simplest form, so y=1118.
