\n" ); document.write( "1/3 time is $\"+%284%2F4%29%2A%281%2F3%29+=+4%2F12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3%2F12+%2B+4%2F12+=+7%2F12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "To find the remaining time find:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1+-+7%2F12+=+5%2F12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "What is this fraction of 40 hrs equal to?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%285%2F12%29%2A40+=+16.666+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Note that $\"+.666+\"$ hrs = $\"+%282%2F3%29%2A60+=+40+\"$ min
