One-tenth of the undergraduates drive more than 40 miles daily, and 1/6 graduate drive more than 40 miles daily. If there are twice as manyu undergraduate students as there are graduate students, then what function of the commuters drive more than 40 miles daily?

Let \"x\" = the number of graduate students
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "Number of undergrads = \"2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%29%2Ax\" grads commute
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F4%29%2A2x\" undergrads commute
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F6%29%2Ax\" drive more than 40 mi/day
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F10%29%2A2x\" drive more than 40 mi/day
\n" ); document.write( "The total number of commuters are:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%29%2Ax+%2B+%281%2F4%29%2A2x+=+%281%2F3%29%2Ax+%2B+%281%2F2%29%2Ax\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F6%29%2Ax+%2B+%283%2F6%29%2Ax+=+%285%2F6%29%2Ax\"
\n" ); document.write( "The number who drive more than 40 mi/day are:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F6%29%2Ax+%2B+%281%2F10%29%2A2x+=+%281%2F6%29%2Ax+%2B+%281%2F5%29%2Ax\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F30%29%2Ax+%2B+%286%2F30%29%2Ax+=+%2811%2F30%29%2Ax\"
\n" ); document.write( "The fraction of commuters who drive more than 40 mi/day are:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%2811%2F30%29%2Ax%29+%2F+%28%285%2F6%29%2Ax%29\"
