You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let E = Number of Elephants
\n" ); document.write( "Let H = Number of Horses
\n" ); document.write( "Set up an equation like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"H%2FE=13%2F11\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since H=52, you can substitute that in and solve for E:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"52%2FE=13%2F11\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"E%2F52=11%2F13\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"E=52%2A11%2F13\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28E=44%29\"$
