Question

Pooja writes the ratio x3=y4 to help her increase the size of a two-dimensional shape. If the new value of x is 15 units, what will be the value of y ?(1 point)

1 answer

To find the value of y when x is 15 units, we can use the given ratio x^3 = y^4.

Given that x = 15, we can substitute that into the equation:

15^3 = y^4
3375 = y^4

To find the value of y, we take the fourth root of both sides:

y = ∜3375
y = 5

Therefore, the value of y is 5 units.
