\n" ); document.write( "Of each 10 bike injuries how many are to the head?
\n" ); document.write( "I tried to figure the proportion but can't quite get it...
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "head/bike injuries = head/bike injuries
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x/10 == 35/50
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10(35/50)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
