The ratio x8=y16 can be simplified to x=y2.

Given that the new value of y is 3 units, we can substitute y = 3 into the equation x=y2:

x = 3/2 = 1.5 units

Therefore, the value of x will be 1.5 units.

Apologies for that mistake. The correct answer is:

Given that the new value of y is 3 units, we can substitute y = 3 into the equation x=y2:

x = 3/2 = 1.5 units

Therefore, the value of x will be 1.5 units.
