document.write( "This is for an online algebra class.  I tried to follow the example which shows how to change the mixed fraction into a improper fraction adn then you multiply to get you answer.  When I did that i came up with 5/7*7/3 but you flip the second fraction adn you get 3/7*5/7 and that gave me 15/49.  But these are multiple choice questions and that answer was not one of the ones that i can choose from.  I did the problem many more times and still have not come up with an answer that is one of my choices.  If it helps my choices are: 22/19    19/22   110/8   12/5  209/8   13/4   Can you help me with this problem?  The lesson is mixed expression and complex fractions </SPAN>\n" );
