To find the value of y when x is 15 units, we can plug in the values into the ratio x/3 = y/4:
15/3 = y/4
Simplifying the equation, we get:
5 = y/4
To solve for y, we can multiply both sides by 4:
4 * 5 = 4 * y
20 = y
Therefore, when x is 15 units, the value of y will be 20 units.
Pooja writes 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 ?
