We're going to turn this into an equation and then use a little algebra to solve this problem. Your problem can be written like this:
x/12 + x/20 = 31
If you take a look at the equation, you'll see that x is equal to the number you're looking for. x/12 is the same as 1/12 times x or one twelfth of x. x/20 is the same way. Now we simply solve for x in this equation
x/12 + x/20 = 31
x + 12x/20 = 372 (i multiplied everything by 12)
20x + 12x = 7440 (now i multiplied everything by 20)
32x = 7440 (you can combine the two x values)
x = 232.5 (i divided by 32)
Now we check our answer:
232.5/12 = 19.375
232.5/20 = 11.625
19.375 + 11.625 = 31
It checks out.
So your answer is 232.5 or 465/2.

What percent is one twentieth of 750?
1/20 = 5/100 = 5% actual sum: 0.05 * 750 = 37.5
What is the significance of the number minus one twelfth in physics and what sum does it represent?
The significance if the number minus 1/12 in Physics is that it helps us perform a number of Mathematical calculations. The reason it can do this is because according to some sophisticated analyses, minus one twelfth can represent the sum of all positive integers. This seems absurd, but it is true within the limits of its specialized use.
The sum of the fractional parts of two integers is what?
Integers have no fractional parts, so their sum will be zero.
Did Aristotle quote the whole is greater than the sum of its parts?
Close. "The whole is more than the sum of its parts."
You are the sum of your parts?
If I am twenty-five, does that mean I have twenty-five parts?
How much is one third plus one twelfth?
The sum of 1/3 and 1/12 is 5/12
What one sixth plus 5 twelfth plus 11 over 30?
The sum is 0.95 or 19/20

What is one word for the concept of the sum bigger than its parts?
Synergy.
Why might the volume of one object differ from the sum of the volumes of its parts and the volume of another object equal the sum of the volumes of its parts?
the volume of its parts would be equal to the amount off butts an object gives off
The sum of the fractional parts of two integers is what?
Integers have no fractional parts, so their sum will be zero.
What is the sum of one half and 7 twelves?
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 1/2 + 7/12 = 1 1/12 or one and one twelfth. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 1.083 recurring (that is, 1.083333...)
Did Aristotle quote the whole is greater than the sum of its parts?
Close. "The whole is more than the sum of its parts."
Every vector can be represented as the sum of its?
A vector is represented as a sum of its parts.
You are the sum of your parts?
If I am twenty-five, does that mean I have twenty-five parts?
The whole is greater than the sum of the part?
It is a saying to describe synergy. Mathematically, though, the whole is equal to the sum of the parts - not more nor less.
