document.write( "So we know that Isabel has ridden 48 miles of an 80 mile course. So we are going to use our info and convert it into a fraction. Isabel has ridden 48/80 of the course,but...we can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 16 to get the smallest possible fraction to work with. Our simplified fraction is now 3/5. So... Then we divide 3 by 5 to get a decimal that will be converted to a percent. 3/5 is 0.6, which is equal to 60 percent. Our final answer is that Isabel rode 60 percent of the course so far. Hope this helps...let me know if you have more questions. :) </SPAN>\n" );
