Ethan writes the ratio x/8=y1/6 to help him reduce the size of a two-dimensional shape. If the new value of y is 3 units, what will be the value of x ?(1 point) Responses 3/16 units Start Fraction 3 over 16 End Fraction units 6 units 6 units 1.5 units 1.5 units 0.5 units
To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the ratio given:
x/8 = y/6
Substitute y = 3 units:
x/8 = 3/6
Cross multiply to solve for x:
6x = 3 * 8
6x = 24
x = 24 / 6
x = 4
Therefore, the value of x is 4 units.
