Make them both improper fractions.
77/10 - 19/5
Give them common denominators (multiply the second fraction by 2)
77/10 - 38/10
Subtract
39/10 = 3 9/10
All together it equals (of the number of hours he does in a week)
45 because 6 plus 9 is 15 and 15 multipled by 3 is 45 makes sense becuase .. 6 +3 is 9 and 9 +9 is 18 2 weeks equals 14 days 18 subtracted by 14 equals 2 which 45 subtracted by 2 is 43 and that's the esact number of hours he works 43 in a week.

Answer:
D) 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose there are 30 girls at the school. Then the proportions tell you that 12 of them study music, and 5 of them study both music and dance.
Then 5 of the 12 girls who study music also study dance. That fraction is 5/12.
_____
We chose 30 because it is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions (2/5, 3/5, 1/6) in the problem statement.
Of course, you know that 2/5·30 = 12, and 1/6·30 = 5.
