\n" ); document.write( "A writing workshop enrolls novelists and poets in a ratio of 5 to 3, Then novelists there are \"5k\" people, poets \"3k\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5k%2B3k=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8k=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k=24%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"k=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Novelists \"5k=5%2A3=15\" people, poets \"3k=3%2A3=9\" people
