Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given:}\\\\AB=3x-4\\AC=2x+12\\BC=7x-2\\AB:AC=1:2\Rightarrow(3x-4):(2x+12)=1:2\\\\\dfrac{3x-4}{2x+12}=\dfrac{1}{2}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(3x-4)(2)=(2x+12)(1)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(3x)(2)+(-4)(2)=2x+12\\\\6x-8=2x+12\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\\\6x-8+8=2x+12+8\\\\6x=2x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\6x-2x=2x-2x+20\\\\4x=20\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4x}{4}=\dfrac{20}{4}\\\\x=5$

$\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to}\ AC\ \text{and}\ BC:\\\\AC=2(5)+12=10+12=22\\\\BC=7(5)-2=35-2=33\\\\AC:BC=22:33=\dfrac{22}{33}=\dfrac{22:11}{33:11}=\dfrac{2}{3}=2:3$

Ok...we got 250 people
30% are French, 35% are Americans, 20% are Germans....thats 85%.
This means 15% are from other countries

3 not from other countries...
0.85 * 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.6

0.6(250) = 150 students <===

rectangular cake pans X and Y are similar. The ratio of the width of the pan X to the width of pan Y is 3 : 4. The length of pan

Vikki [24]

We have two rectangles such as:
Rectangle 1 = X
Rectangle 2 = Y
Where the ratio of the two is:
Ratio = X / Y = 3/4
If x length is 10, we can solve for y length such as:
10 /Y length =3/4
Y length = 40/3 = 13.33

If x width is 5, then we can solve for y width such as:
5/y width = 3/4
y width = 20/3 = 6.67

The Perimeter of Pan Y is shown below:
Y perimeter = 2(6.67) + 2(13.33)
Y perimeter = 40

The answer is 40 inches.
