Pooja writes the ratio ×/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

To find the value of y, we can first find the value of x using the given ratio.

Given, x/3 = y/4

Substitute the new value of x as 15 units:

15/3 = y/4
5 = y/4

Now, cross multiply to solve for y:

5*4 = y
y = 20

Therefore, the value of y will be 20 units.
