I think this should read:
\n" ); document.write( "A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas.
\n" ); document.write( "The length of the rectangle is 12inches and its width is 8 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "If the base of the triangle is 32 inches, what is the length, in inches, of the altitude drawn to the base?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the rectangle: 12*8 = 96
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the triangle, a = the altitude
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ *32*a = 96
\n" ); document.write( "16a = 96
\n" ); document.write( "a = 96/16
\n" ); document.write( "a = 6 inches is the altitude
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution: .5*32*6 = 96 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
