Add up the number of thirds in 8 and 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "One has three thirds in it, right?
\n" ); document.write( "Eight has eight times as many or 8 X 3 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "So eight has 24/3 in it
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "How many fourths are in three?
\n" ); document.write( "There are four fourths in one
\n" ); document.write( "so there are three times that or 12 fourths in three
\n" ); document.write( "so three has 12/4 in it
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "How many thirds are in 8 and 1/3?
\n" ); document.write( "We decided there are 24/3 in 8, so add one more
\n" ); document.write( "that means there are 25/3 in 8 and 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "How many fourths are there in 3 and 3/4?
\n" ); document.write( "We decided there are 12/4 in 3, so add 3 more
\n" ); document.write( "There are 15/4 in 3 and 3/4
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide 25/3 by 15/4 like the problem says
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2825%2F3%29+%2F+%2815%2F4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If you multiply the same number by both the
\n" ); document.write( " numerator and denominator, the value does not change
\n" ); document.write( "It's the same as multiplying by one
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply top and bottom by 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "Again, it's the same as multiplying by one because $\"%284%2F3%29+%2F+%284%2F3%29+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%284%2F3%29+%2A+%285%2F3%29%29+%2F+%28%284%2F3%29+%2A+%283%2F4%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The denominator equals one $\"%284%2F3%29+%2A+%283%2F4%29+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2820%2F9%29+%2F+1+=+20%2F9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You need practice, that's all
\n" ); document.write( "try things like how many 1/10s are in one?
\n" ); document.write( "so how many 1/10s are in 10?
\n" ); document.write( "There are 100 1/10s in 10
\n" ); document.write( "how many 1/10s are in 100?
\n" ); document.write( "there are 1000 1/10s in 100
\n" ); document.write( "so how many 1/10s are in 107?
\n" ); document.write( "1000 + 7 = 1007
\n" ); document.write( "It's just practice\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
