Set up a ratio.
\n" ); document.write( "3 days is to 240000 as N is to 391000000.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F240000=N%2F391000000\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N=391000000%2F80000=39100%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N=4887.5\"$ days
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Are we there yet?
\n" ); document.write( "It's that extra 1/2 day that makes it seems really long.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
