#y=48#

Explanation:

To solve for #y#, you can cross-multiply:

#(3)/(16)=(9)/(y)#

Multiply the #3# and the #y#, and put the product on one side of the equal sign, and then multiply the #9# and #16# and put the product on the other side; giving you:

#3y=144#

Now divide both sides by #3# to isolate #y#, giving you:

#y=48#
