Question

Eathen writes the ratio x/8=y/16 to help him reduce the size of a two demtiolal shape if the new value of y is 3 units what's the new value of x

Answer 1

To find the new value of x, we can use the given ratio x/8=y/16 and the new value of y (3 units):

x/8 = 3/16

Now, cross multiply:

16x = 24

Divide by 16:

x = 24/16

x = 1.5 units

Therefore, the new value of x is 1.5 units.
