\n" ); document.write( "\"%2820%2A.5%29%2F%2812%2A.75%29\" = \"36.60%2Fx\" which is: \"%2810%29%2F%288%29\" = \"36.60%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 8(36.60)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 292.8
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"292.8%2F10\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $29.28 for 12' of .75\" pipe
