\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let unknown gallons =x and set up a proportion of gallons/miles=gallons/miles:
\n" ); document.write( "\"10gal%2F280mi=x%2F476mi\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28476mi%29%2810gal%29%2F280mi=%28476mi%29x%2F476mi\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"476%2A10gal%2F280=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284760%2F280%29gal=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"17gal=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=17gal%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!
