Answer:

C

Explanation:

Remark

There are probably a couple of ways that you could do this. I'm going to pick the most obvious way.

Givens.

KN = 2.5

NO = 10

LM = 3

MP = x

Equation

NO/KN = PM / LM

Solution

10 / 2.5 = x / 3 Cross multiply

2.5x = 10 * 3 Combine

2.5x = 30 Divide by 2.5

x = 30/2.5

x = 12

That looks like it should be the answer, and it almost is, but you are asked for LP.

LP = LM + MP

LP = 3 + 12

LP = 15

The answer is 15
