We have been given that two figures. The scale factor of Figure A to Figure B is 3:8. We are asked to find the value of x.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

Figure A/Figure B=3/8

Upon substituting the ratio between Figure A and Figure B, we will get:

3/8=×/24

3/8•24=×/24•24

3/1•3=×

9=×

Therefore, the value of x is 9.
