Answer:

B. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the value of x

The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.

Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:

\frac{AB}{LM} = \frac{AC}{LN}

AB = 5

LM = 10

AC = x + 5

LN = 3x + 3

Plug in the values

\frac{5}{10} = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 3}

Cross multiply

5(3x + 3) = 10(x + 5)

15x + 15 = 10x + 50 (distributive property)

Collect like terms

15x - 10x = -15 + 50

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5

x = 7

✔️Find AC

AC = x + 5

Plug in the value of x

AC = 7 + 5

AC = 12

Ariel made cupcakes to sell. 2/3 of them were chocolate chip,25% of the reminder was strawberry and the rest were 90 vanilla cup
Anton [14]

Answer:

Let x be the total number of cupcakes.

Chocolate chips =

\frac{2}{3} x

Strawberry =

\frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{1}{3}  \\  =  \frac{1}{12} x

Vanilla =

x -  \frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{1}{12}x \\  =  \frac{1}{3} x -  \frac{1}{12} x \\   =  \frac{1}{4} x

given

\frac{1}{4} x = 90

x = 90 \div  \frac{1}{4}  \\  = 90 \times 4 \\  = 360

a)Number of Chocolate chip Cupcakes =

\frac{2}{3}  \times 360 \\  = 240

b)Number of Strawberry cupcakes =

\frac{1}{12}  \times 360 \\  = 30
