Solve the following proportion for \( y \). \[ \frac{17}{13}=\frac{9}{y} \] Round your answer to the nearest tenth. y=

To solve the proportion \(\frac{17}{13}=\frac{9}{y}\), you can begin by cross-multiplying. This gives us: \[ 17y = 9 \times 13 \] Calculating the right side we get: \[ 9 \times 13 = 117 \] Now, our equation looks like this: \[ 17y = 117 \] Next, divide both sides by 17 to isolate \( y \): \[ y = \frac{117}{17} \] Calculating this gives: \[ y \approx 6.8824 \] Rounding to the nearest tenth: \[ y \approx 6.9 \] So, the final answer is: \( y = 6.9 \)
