1.5 units

To find the value of x, we can rearrange the ratio x/5 = y/16 to solve for x. Given that y is 3 units, we have:

x/5 = 3/16

Cross multiplying, we get:

16x = 15

Therefore, x = 15/16.

Finally, we can substitute the value of x into the equation x^7 * 15/16:

(15/16)^7 * 15/16 = 1.5 units.

Therefore, the value of x^7 * 15/16 is 1.5 units.
