Ethan wants to ratio x over a equals y over 16 to help him reduce the size of two dimensional shape if the new volume y is 3 units what will be the volume of x

1 answer

To find the volume of x, we first need to determine the relationship between x and y in terms of volume. Given that y/16 = x/a, we can rearrange the equation to solve for x:

x = (y/16) * a

Given that the new volume of y is 3 units, we substitute y = 3 into the equation:

x = (3/16) * a
x = 3a/16

Therefore, the volume of x will be 3a/16 units.
