The ratio of flour to sugar is 10:1
\n" ); document.write( "That means the fraction of flour in any mixture is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10%2F11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and the fraction of sugar is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1%2F11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%2810%2F11%29%2A40+=+36.364+\"$ lb
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%2810%2F11%29%2A50+=+45.455+\"$ lb
\n" ); document.write( "The possible weights of flour are:
\n" ); document.write( "between 36.364 lbs and 45.455 lbs \n" ); document.write( "
