Pooja write the ratio x/3 = y/4 to help her increase the size of a two dimensional shape. If the new value of X is 15 units, what will be the value of Y?

Answer 1

We can solve for the value of y by setting up a proportion:

x/3 = y/4

Substitute x with the new value, 15:

15/3 = y/4

Simplify:

5 = y/4

Multiply both sides by 4:

y = 20

Therefore, the value of y will be 20 units.
