\n" ); document.write( "Hi,
\n" ); document.write( ".50 for 1/5mi, leaving 2mi-1/5mi = (9/5)mi Or \"%289%2A2%2F%285%2A2%29%29+=+%2818%2F10%29\"mi to go
\n" ); document.write( "Note: $0.20 for each tenth of a mile remaining
\n" ); document.write( ".50 + .20*18 = $0.50 + $3.60 = $4.10 \n" ); document.write( "
