To find the value of y, we can set up a proportion:
(3 3/4) / (1 1/8) = (2 1/2) / y
First, convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
(15/4) / (9/8) = (5/2) / y
Next, multiply both sides by y to solve for y:
(15/4)(8/9) = 5/2
(2)(5) = 9y
10 = 9y
Finally, divide both sides by 9 to solve for y:
y = 10/9
Therefore, the value of y is 10/9.
