Question

how to solve the following problem

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 35}=\frac{ y +1 }{ 112 }\]

Answer 2

Cross multiplication.
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 35 } = \frac{ y+1 }{ 112 } \]

\frac{ 2 }{ 35 } = \frac{ y+1 }{ 112 }\[2*112 = 35(y+1)\]

\[224 = 35y + 35\]

Can you solve that?

Answer 3

oh so you add 35 plus 35
and will it be 224=70y
or will it stay in the form you did it?

Answer 4

Almost, but the second 35 has no y, which means we only have the 35y
\[224=35y+35\]
\[224 -35 = 189 = 35y\]
\[\frac{189}{35} = y = 5.4\]
