To solve the proportion:

$$
\frac{11}{7} = \frac{y}{10}
$$

**Step 1:** Cross-multiply to solve for $$ y $$.

$$
11 \times 10 = 7 \times y
$$

$$
110 = 7y
$$

**Step 2:** Divide both sides by 7.

$$
y = \frac{110}{7} \approx 15.71428571
$$

**Step 3:** Round to the nearest tenth.

$$
y \approx 15.7
$$

**Final Answer:**

$$ y = 15.7 $$
$$ y = 15.7 $$
