In terms of units:
\n" ); document.write( "( gallons ) / ( gallons / min ) = min
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+100+%2F+%28+4%2F9%29+=+%289%2F4%29%2A100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%289%2F4%29%2A100+=+225+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This answer is in minutes. To get hours:
\n" ); document.write( "( minutes ) x ( hours / minute ) = hours
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+225%2A%281%2F60%29+=+3.75+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and $\"+.75%2A60+=+45+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "It will take Bill 3 hrs and 45 min
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
