What value of y makes the equation true 3 / -4 equals y / - 16

12

Step-by-step explanation

When you look at the equation 3/-4 = y/-16, what it means is that the left side is the same as the right side. Because what you are looking at is a ratio, this means that the -4 is the same to 3 as the y is to the -16.

How can you get to -16 from -4? By multiplying it by 4. 4*-4=-16.

Now do the same for 3 to get your y. 3*4 = y.

3*4 = 12.
