Just make the amount of petrol each use on 25 km ...and sum them so ..it will be for toyota ...4 divided by 4(cause they run on a 1/4 from 100km ) and it will be 1 l ...and for audi ..12 /4 and will be 3 l..and together ..will be 1+3= 4 l
another way to do it ..is ask yourself how much they will burn on 100km together ..and will be 4l (toyota) +12l (audi) = 16 liters together on 100Km than ask how much together on 25 km ...so it will be ...16l x1/4 the fraction represented by 25 versus100 ...and it is 16/4 =4l
another way to do it its by 3simple rule..
find out how much burn together on 100km ..and we did that its 16 ..(we just sum the quantities given than put the problem this way
if ...16 l...............for 100km
?...................for 25km
_______________________
16/?=100/25 and on this fractions we know by the rule that multiplying the exponents will have an equality also ..so ...16x25= 100x? so...?=16 x25/100 =400/100=4
