\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "There are certain ways to know which is better.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Brand x = 4 oz/$1.40 ; Brand y = 6 oz/$2.16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In Brand x, divide both numerator and denominator by 4 to get a price for 1 oz:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28cross%284%29oz%2A1%2Fcross%284%29%29%2F%28cross%281.40%290.35%2Fcross%284%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "1 oz/$0.35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In Brand y divide both num. and den. by 6 to get a price for 1 oz:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28cross%286%29oz%2A1%2Fcross%286%29%29%2F%28cross%282.16%290.36%2Fcross%286%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "1 oz/$0.36\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can see Brand x is better. You can hardly see the difference for smaller amount, buy try to fill 1 gallon tank.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know 1 gal = 128oz\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Brand x needs: \"128%2F4=32oz\" to fill 1 gal tank, and cost you, \"1.40%2A32\"=$44.80\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Brand y needs: \"128%2F6=21.33333oz\" to fill 1 gal tank, and cost you, \"2.16%2A21.33333\"=$46.08\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It clearly shows, the choice is Brand x to fill 1 gal tank.\r
