Need help with ratio calculation

44 Views Asked by At

I have 2 objects with the width of:

Object 1 = 375

Object 2 = 359

If I change Object 1 width to 333.5, what would object 2 be?

This is probably really simple, but I'm trying to get the answer to be 311. Please explain answer. Thanks!

Assuming you want the ratio between the widths of the two objects to be preserved, let $x$ be the new width of Object $2$, so

$$\frac{375}{359}=\frac{333.5}{x}$$

Can you solve this for $x$?
