The answer is 9
9 times 2 = 18
9 times 5 = 45
27 is how much kids did the survey because I added all the fractions together like how the question did 3/5 which is 3 × 5 = 15
- 3 ( x - 1 ) = 18
- or, 3x - 3 = 18
- or, 3x = 18 - 3
- or, 3x = 15
- or, x = 15 ÷ 3
- or, x = 5

Hope you could understand.

We need to work out first the scale factor of the side length
Side MN correspond to the side JK
Side MN = 3.5 cm
Side JK = 14 cm
Scale factor = 14/3.5 = 4
Side OM correspond to side LJ
Side OM = 12 cm
Side LJ = 12 × 4 = 48 cm
