80/200=(2/3)/X
\n" ); document.write( "80X=200(2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "80X=400/3
\n" ); document.write( "80X*3=400
\n" ); document.write( "240X=400
\n" ); document.write( "X=400/240
\n" ); document.write( "X=1 2/3 INCHES.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "80/200=(2/3)/(5/3)
\n" ); document.write( "80(5/3)=200(2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "400/3=400/3\r
