<PRE><B>Question 1073363</B>
The ratios are: 3:5:4
Without changing these ratios, I can also say:
{{{ 3/12 + 5/12 + 4/12 = 12/12 }}}
Now the ratios are in terms of fractions of the whole mixture
Multiply both sides by {{{ 60 }}}
{{{ ( 3/12 )*60 + ( 5/12 )*60 + ( 4/12 )*60 = 60 }}}
{{{ 15 + 25 + 20 = 60 }}}
