Set up the ratio:
\n" ); document.write( "( 1 loaf of banana bread ) / ( 2/3 cup oil ) = ( x loaves banana bread ) / ( 3 cups oil )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1+%2F+%282%2F3%29+=+x+%2F+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3%2F2+=+x%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9+=+2x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+4.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You can make 4 and 1/2 loaves of banana bread with 3 cups of oil
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
