Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 5/8 of the staff is male, 5/12 of the staff works part time
the question askes what fraction of the workforce is female
if 5/8ths is male than the other 3/8ths are female
3/8 of the staff is female
2) how much food was fed at night
2/15 + (2/15 + 1/15) + x = 1/2
2/15 + (3/15) + x = 1/2
5/15 + x = 1/2
1/3 + x = 1/2
x = 1/6
1/6th of a ton was fed at night
3)
just add them
7/8 + 9/10 = 71/40 or 1 31/40
