20/M=16/5
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by M
\n" ); document.write( "5*20=16*M

\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "25=4M
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4 again
\n" ); document.write( "25/4=M
\n" ); document.write( "convert to mixed number
\n" ); document.write( "6 1/4=M \n" ); document.write( "
