Well I am not God, but he has used me on occasion
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "lets call D the total distance
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1+(1/2)D+(1/3)D+1=D...all these interval lengths together make up the distance
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2+(3/6)D+(2/6)D=D..(made fraction like terms so we could add them
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2+(5/6)D=D....combined fractional terms
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(1/6)D=2......subtracted 5/6D from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28D=12%29\"km......(multiplied both sides by 6)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
