Keep the units on the same side of the proportions ( either numerator or denominator) on both sides. IE ft/m=ft/m If you set it up m/ft=ft/m, you will not get the correct answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3ft/7m = 20ft/'x'm
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "140=3x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3 to get x alone
\n" ); document.write( "x=46.667
\n" ); document.write( " REMINDER::
\n" ); document.write( "**Do not forget to report your units with your answer, 46.667 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "**Check your instructions for rounding rules
\n" ); document.write( "**Check your work by plugging in the value for x into the equation and work it through\r
