I set up a column, resembling as follows with a = 0 and b=1
\n" ); document.write( "Then I assigned values to the midpoints.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a| 0
\n" ); document.write( "b| 1
\n" ); document.write( "c| 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "d| 0.25
\n" ); document.write( "e| 0.125
\n" ); document.write( "f| 0.1875
\n" ); document.write( "g| 0.156
\n" ); document.write( "h| 0.625\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then, I set up a proportion 16/.25 = x/.469
\n" ); document.write( "The result I obtained was 30.016.
