\"3%2F5\"(62.5) = 37.5 weight of sand and small stones
\n" ); document.write( "or 62 \"1%2F2\" = 125/2
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2F5%29%28125%2F2%29+=+75%2F2\", which is 37.5
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4\"(37.5) = 9.375 weight of stones
\n" ); document.write( "or \"%281%2F4%29%2875%2F2%29+=+75%2F8\", which is 9.375
\n" ); document.write( "...
