Ohm's law is represented by the equation $I = \frac{V}{R}$ $I =V/R$ . How would the current change if the amount of resistance decreased and the voltage stayed the same?

It would increase.

As you said: Ohm's law is represented by the equation $I = \frac{V}{R}$ $I=V/R$
Where:
I is the current
V is the voltage
R is the resistance

A lower R means that the ratio V/R becomes higher (when V is the same) which results in a higher current.

Ohm's law is represented by the equation I =V/RI=VRI =V/R. How would the current change if the amount of resistance decreased and the voltage stayed the same?
