Joe writes ratio of x/6 = y/18. If new value of y = 3. What is value of x? show your work please

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio x/6 = y/18:

x/6 = 3/18

Now we can cross multiply to solve for x:

18x = 18

Divide both sides by 18 to solve for x:

x = 1

Therefore, the value of x is 1.
