Ethan writes the ratio x8=y16 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 316 units Start Fraction 3 over 16 End Fraction units 1.5 units 1.5 units 0.5 units 0.5 units 6 units

Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve this problem step by step:
Given ratio: x8 = y16
Given value of y: 3 units
To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion:
x/8 = 3/16
Cross multiply:
16x = 8 * 3
16x = 24
Divide by 16 to solve for x:
x = 24 / 16
x = 1.5 units
Therefore, the value of x is 1.5 units.
