Answer:
[tex]y=\dfrac{27}{5} =5.4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We multiply the proportion
[tex]\dfrac{2}{35} =\dfrac{y+1}{112}[/tex]
by 112 to get:
[tex]112*(\dfrac{2}{35} =\dfrac{y+1}{112})\rightarrow \dfrac{224}{35} =y+1,[/tex]
and then we subtract -1 from both sides to get:
[tex]y=\dfrac{224}{35}-1,[/tex]
which simplifies to give us
[tex]y=\dfrac{224}{35}-\dfrac{35}{35} = \dfrac{189}{35}, \\\\\\\boxed{y= \dfrac{27}{5}=5.4.}[/tex]
