\"It takes Emmet 25 minutes to finish \"2%2F3\" of his homework.\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = number of minutes it takes Emmet to finish ALL of his homework
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29x\" = number of minutes it takes for Emmet to finish \"2%2F3\" of his homework
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29x+=+25\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 3: \"2x+=+3%2825%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+75\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2: \"x+=+75%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 37.5 or 37-1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, it will take 37-1/2 (or 37.5, whichever version--mixed number or decimal--you prefer) minutes for Emmet to finish all of his work.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
