If we treat this as a proportion problem \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( " (428 days / yr ) / 1 yr = ( 107 days / yr ) / Z,,,, where z is corresponding years on W \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "cross multiply and simplify \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "428 *z = 107 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "z = 107 / 428 = 1/4 yr \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "checking \n" ); document.write( "ratio of days per year is 107/428 = 1/4 \n" ); document.write( "ratio of years = 1/4 ,,,,,,, ok \n" ); document.write( " |
