Answer:

  20 green pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between black and green "ratio units" is 7 -5 = 2. The difference between red and blue ratio units is 3 -2 = 1. The sum of those differences is 2 +1 = 3 ratio units, which represent 12 pencils. Then each ratio unit represents 12/3 = 4 pencils.

The 5 ratio units of green pencils represent 5·4 pencils = 20 green pencils.

_____

If you need an equation, you can use k as the constant of proportionality. Then the sum of differences described is ...

  (7k -5k) + (3k -2k) = 12

  3k = 12 . . . . simplify

  k = 4 . . . . . . divide by 3

  5k = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . number of green pencils

Find the minimum and maximum possible areas for a rectangle measuring 4.15 cm by 7.34 cm. Round to the nearest hundredth. A. min
Shalnov [3]

This is probably in the context of a discussion of significant figures and accuracy.

When we record a measurement of 4.15 cm with two significant figures, that means we believe the exact value is in the range from 4.145 cm to  41.155 cm

Similarly 7.34 really means between 7.335 and 7.345 cm.

The minimum area rectangle is 

4.145 \times 7.335 = 30.403575 \approx 30.40

The maximum area rectangle is

4.155 \times 7.345 =30.518475 \approx 30.52
