How many thirds are in \"5\"?
\n" ); document.write( "There are \"+3%2A5+=+15\" thirds in \"5\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, in 5 1/3, there are \"+15+%2B+1+=+16+\" thirds
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "How many eighths are in \"4\"?
\n" ); document.write( "There are \"+8%2A4+=+32+\" eighths in \"4\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, in 4 3/8, there are \"+32+%2B+3+=+35+\" eighths
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers I need to multiply are now
\n" ); document.write( "\"+16%2F3+\" and \"+35%2F8+\", so
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%2816%2F3%29%2A%2835%2F8%29+=+%2816%2A35%29+%2F+%283%2A8%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide top and bottom by \"8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%282%2A35%29%2F3+=+70%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
