Short answer

The solution of the given proportion is $y=18$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1.  Given

The given proportion is$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{y}{24}.$

Step 2.  To determine

We have to solve the proportion$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{y}{24}.$

Step 3.  Calculation 

Solve the given proportion.

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{3}{4}=\frac{y}{24}\\ \frac{3}{4}\cdot 24=\frac{y}{24}\cdot 24\left[\text{multiplyeachsideby24}\right]\\ \frac{72}{4}=y\left[\text{simplify}\right]\\ y=18\left[\text{divide}\right]\end{array}$

So, the solution is$y=18$.
