Answer: 17/60
Step-by-step explanation:
Change all of the fractions to have a common denominator:
LCM of 10, 12, 15 is 60
You get 12/60, 25/60, and 54/60.
54/60 is what he had at the start, and so you can just subtract what he gave away
54/60-12/60=42/60
42/60-25/60=17/60
17 is a prime number so you cannot simplify the fraction
Answer: D) 10
============================================================
Explanation:
I'm assuming points M and N are midpoints of segments FD and FE respectively. If that's the case, then segment DE is twice as long compared to segment MN. We consider MN to be a midsegment.
So,
DE = 2*(MN)
3x-2 = 2*(x+4)
3x-2 = 2x+8
3x-2x = 8+2
x = 10
