Pooja writes da ratio x/3 = y/4 to help her increase da size of a two-dimensional shape. If da new value of x is 15 units, wut will be the value of y?

Answer 1

To solve the ratio \( \frac{x}{3} = \frac{y}{4} \) with a new value of \( x = 15 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Substitute \( x \) into the equation: \[ \frac{15}{3} = \frac{y}{4} \]

2. Simplify the left side: \[ 5 = \frac{y}{4} \]

3. To find \( y \), multiply both sides by 4: \[ y = 5 \times 4 \] \[ y = 20 \]

Thus, the value of \( y \) is \( 20 \) units.
