Let us denote the years of Mary with M and the years that Al have with A.
<span>We know that the sum of Mary and Al's age is 48. So, we can write:
M+A=48 (1)
</span><span>We also know that twelve years ago, Mary was twice as old as Al. So we can write:
M-12=2*A (2)
From the first equation (1): M=48-A
Let put this in the second equation:
48-A-12=2A
36=3A
A=12
M=48-12=36
</span>

5/8 - 3/10 <br> A. 13/40 <br> B. 1/20 <br> C. 1/4<br> D. 1/5
densk [106]

5/8 - 3/10

Find the common denominator:

Multiples of 8:  8, 16, 24, 32, 40 (8 x 5 = 40)

Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40  (10 x 4 = 40)


5/8 = 5*5 / 8*5 = 25/40

3/10 = 3*4 / 10 *4 = 12/40


Now you have 25/40 - 12/40

25 -12 = 13

Answer = 13/40


The answer is A.
