That should give you a clue as how to proceed. Note that 3/10 and 15/50 is NOT the only answer. 10/3 and 50/15 are an equally valid equivalent pair of fractions using the same set of integers -- unless, of course, the instructions for the problem included the restriction that the fractions had to be proper.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
