A)

The n's cancel. Then 5%2F10 reduces to 1%2F2

So, %285n%29%2F%2810n%29 simplifies to 1%2F2

-------------------------------------------------------

B)

%285%2Bn%29%2F%2810%2Bn%29 cannot be simplified or reduced further. So the answer is simply the original expression (maybe followed by "cannot be reduced")
