not gunn lie this was a lil hard oky hehe i did my best ;0

∠DOE = 16°

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

∠BOF = 120°

∠AOB = 2×∠AOC Given

∠AOC = 2×∠AOD Given

∠AOD = 2×∠AOE Given

∠AOE = 2×∠AOF Given

Therefore;

∠AOB = 16×∠AOF Angle addition postulate

∠BOF = ∠AOB - ∠AOF = 16×∠AOF - ∠AOF = 15×∠AOF Transitive property

15×∠AOF = 120°

∠AOF = 120°/15 = 8°

Given that OE bisects ∠AOD, we have;

∠AOE ≅ ∠DOE Angles bisected by a line

From;

∠AOE = 2×∠AOF, we have; Given

Therefore;

∠AOE = ∠DOE = 2×∠AOF = 2×8° = 16°

∠DOE = 16°.
