Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), add a line below it (/), then add a 1 to the denominator.
5 = 5/1
Example 2: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 2 add a line below it (/), then add a 2 to the denominator.
5 = (5*2)/2 = 10/2
***This can be reduced to 5/1***
Example 3: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 3 add a line below it (/), then add a 3 to the denominator.
5 = (5*3)/3 = 15/3
***This can also be reduced to 5/1***
If you follow the pattern, you will realize all whole numbers are fractions already.
They are fractions with a denominator of 1. This fraction can be manipulated with all of the same standard rules you would traditionally use with fractions, even when the denominator isn’t shown.
A fraction is simply a way to describe portions of a whole. The denominator simply tells you how many pieces to break the whole into. When the denominator is 1, you are breaking the whole into one piece (or not breaking it apart at all.
I hope this helps.

Answer:
750kmph
Step-by-step explanation:
Average is sum of all parts divided by the number of parts.
Let Stot be average speed for total trip (800kmph).
Let S1 be speed for first quarter of trip (950kmph).
Let S2, S3, and S4 be the speeds of each of the remaining quarters respectively.
Let Sans be the average speed for the remaining three quarters of the trip (a.k.a. The Answer!).
Stot = (S1 + S2 + S3 + S4) / 4
800kmph = (950kmph + S2 + S3 + S4) / 4
3200kmph = 950kmph + S2 + S3 + S4
3200kmph - 950kmph = 2250kmph = S2 + S3 + S4
Divide both sides by 3.
2250kmph / 3 = (S2 + S3 + S4) / 3 = Sans
Sans = 750kmph
