A line that is parallel to a side and intersects the other two siddes divides the sides proportionally.
Set up the proportion
2/x+1 = x/x+6
Multiply means and extremes
2x+12= x^2+ x
Solve to get your answer.
1/2 / 4/5 = 1/2 *5/4 = 5/8

Ok...we got 250 people
30% are French, 35% are Americans, 20% are Germans....thats 85%.

3 not from other countries...
0.85 * 0.85 * 0.85 = 0.6
0.6(250) = 150 students <===
