To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal, which you find by flipping the numerator and the denominator.
Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.
Simplify by dividing both sides of the equation by .

Answer:
A. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you need to compare the lengths given to you in the question statement.
Because the lines originate from a single point, they're like triangles. We can easily see a triangle AGF and a triangle ADE, right?
Both triangles are similar triangles, so we can see triangle ADE as a larger version of angle AGF.
They give you the dimension of A F and A E (through A F + F E) to establish a ratio... and they give you A G, asking for A D.
So, A F = 16, A E = 20 (16 + 4), A G = 12.
Since A D is to A G what A E is to A F, we can easily make the following cross-multiplication:
So, A D = (A G * A E)/A F
A D = (12 * 20) / 16 = 15
