In such situation cross-multiply and solve the equation so obtained.
In this case: y/3 = 6/5, therefore:
5y = 18 getting y = 18/5.
That's it! You are done.

ok first you need to cross multiply, in which you do Y * 5 and 3*6 get 5y=18 now, divide 5 on both sides, and get 18/5
18/5 is your answer and in mixed number form, it is 3 and 3/5

the outers multiplied together (i.e. y and 5) must equal the inners multiplied (i.e 3 and 6) called cross product
so
5x=18
then answer is 3 3/5 or 18/5 or 3.6

y/3=6/5
use cross multiplication
5y=6 times 3
5y=18
y=18/5
that's it!

Cross multiply:
5y = 3(6)
5y = 18
y = 18/5
that's it! :) you can do it!
