Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.
Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x
3/x = 5/8 - 3/12
Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24
3/x = 9/24
Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8
3/x = 3/8
Obviously this means x = 8
659 divided by 8 = 82 R3.
So the answer is 82.

Answer:
The average rate is 35 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To get from town A to town B takes 3 hours. The distance is 100 miles
To get from town B to town c takes 1 hours. The distance is 40 miles
To find the average rate , we need to find the total distance and divide by the total time
Total distance = 100 + 40 = 140 miles
Total time = 3 hrs + 1 hr = 4 hours
distance = rate * time
140 miles = rate * 4 hours
140/4 = rate
35 = rate
The average rate is 35 miles per hour
