$g = 6$ $g=6$

Refer to the explanation for the process.

Solve:

$\frac{9}{g} = \frac{15}{10}$ $color(blue)(9)/color(blue)g=color(red)15/color(red)10$

Cross multiply each denominator by the opposite numerator.

$9 \times 10 = 15 \times g$ $color(blue)9xxcolor(red)10=color(red)15xxcolor(blue)g$

Simplify.

$90 = 15 g$ $90=15g$

Divide both sides by $15$ $15$

$\frac{90}{15} = g$ $90/15=g$

Simplify.

$6 = g$ $6=g$

Switch sides.

$g = 6$ $g=6$
