\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "water + water = water
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)2 + (3/4)3 = r(5) where r is the fraction of water in the mixture
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2/3) + (9/4) = 5r
\n" ); document.write( "35/12 = 5r
\n" ); document.write( "r = 7/12
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "7/12 of the 5 gallon mixture is water
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
