Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the below proportion in this problem,

[tex]\dfrac{9}{2}=\dfrac{27}{2y}[/tex]

First of all, we cross multiply both sides such that,

[tex]9\times 2y=27\times 2\\\\18y=27\times 2[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 18.

[tex]y=\dfrac{27\times 2}{18}\\\\y=3[/tex]

For the above proportion, we find that the value of y is equal to 3.
