To solve this problem, we know that:
x/y = 8/16 = 0.5
Since the new value of x is given as 3 units, we can calculate the value of y:
3/y = 0.5
y = 3/0.5 = 6 units
Therefore, the value of y will be 6 units.
Ethan writes the ratio to help him reduce the
size of a two-dimensional shape. If the new value of
is 3 units, what will be the value of ? (1 point)
