Assume you mean:
\n" ); document.write( "A picture measure 7 1/2 inches by 5 inches is enlarged so that the larger side become 18 inches.
\n" ); document.write( " What does the shorter side become?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = the enlarged shorter side
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a ratio equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F7.5\" = \"w%2F18\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "7.5w = 5 * 18
\n" ); document.write( "7.5w = 90
\n" ); document.write( "w = \"90%2F7.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "w = 12 inches is the enlarged shorter side
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
