Joe wirtes ratio of x/6 = y/18. If new value of y = 3. wut is da value of x?

Answer 1

To solve the ratio \( \frac{x}{6} = \frac{y}{18} \) given that the new value of \( y = 3 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Substitute the value of \( y \) into the equation: \[ \frac{x}{6} = \frac{3}{18} \]

2. Simplify \( \frac{3}{18} \): \[ \frac{3}{18} = \frac{1}{6} \]

3. Now the equation is: \[ \frac{x}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \]

4. To find \( x \), we can cross-multiply or just recognize that since the denominators are the same, the numerators must be equal: \[ x = 1 \]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( \boxed{1} \).
