Think of this as a proportion. Let x be the unknown length.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x = 11*13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x = 143\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 17.875 inches\r
