(Choice A)

Harry stains his shirt during the dinner.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Harry and Larry are having a barbecue dinner and the probability of Harry staining his shirt during the dinner is 1/5 and the probability of Larry staining his shirt during the dinner is 15%, Harry stains his shirt during the dinner is more likely.

Harry - 1/5 as a percent: 20%

Larry - 15% as a decimal: 0.15

Therefore 20% is more than 15 percent.

This makes the answer, Harry stains his shirt during the dinner.

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint of segment KL, then segments KM and LM are congruent. They have the same length.

4x + 1 = 8x - 15

4x = -16

x = 4
