Answer:

Steps 1 - 4 below explains it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way that the soldiers get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat is;

1) The two 12- year - old boys will take the boat to the other side

2) Thereafter, one of the 12- year - old boys will return with the boat.

3) A soldier will now take the boat to the other side and the soldier will remain there while the other boy returns the boat.

svet-max [94.6K]

ANSWER

The correct answer is C

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of

- \frac{3}{8}   \times  \frac{8}{15}

This is the same as:

-  \frac{3}{8}  \times  \frac{8}{3 \times 5}

We cancel out the common factors to get:

-  \frac{1}{1}  \times  \frac{1}{1 \times 5}

We simplify to get:

-  \frac{1}{5}

The correct answer is C
