What this is saying is...20 is a whole number; but 3/4 is not. What they are saying is, if you have to add a mixed number with a whole number, you can add both of the whole numbers together. Then, you add the 3/4 at the end...because it is not a whole number. You can break apart a mixed number by separating the whole number and the fraction.
Hope this helps :)
Hey, don’t call for that link thing. It’s fake. Here’s how I solved this: x = [35(80%) + 70(25%)]/(35 + 70) = 43.3%
The answer is 43.3%
When you say "at the same ratio", you mean that you consume the same amount of gas for the same amount of miles.
We know that everytime you drive 75 miles, you use 3 gallons of gas.
Since 12 gallons of gas is four times 3 gallons of gas, if the ratio remains the same, you can drive four times the distance:
You drive 75 miles, and use 3 gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 
miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 
gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 
miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 
gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 
miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 
gallons, and you're done.
12=8 18=12 24=16 (find 2/3 of each one)
So 8, 12 and 16
