Because the triangles are similar the ratio of all the sides would be the same. So you need to find the ratio of the common sides and then use that ratio to find the unkown side.
In this picture sides FG = 52, FV would be the same side and is 24.
Dividing 24/52 = 0.461, so the unkown side WV would be 0.444 of it's common side HG.
HG = 39
39 * 0.461= 18.
The answer is C. 18
3/8 = 0.375.
24.1 * 0.375 = 9.03.
24.1 - 9.03 = 15.07.

Answer:
18 and 11/16
Step-by-step explanation:
I converted the two numbers into improper fractions which leaves me with
71/8+157/16
I thenn made sure I had common denominators, which means I need to multiply the first number by 2/2 and I'm left with:
142/16+157/16
I can now add the 2 numbers together and I get:
299/16
now we just need to convert the number into a mixed number by dividing, and I am left with:
18 and 11/16
