\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "2 sixth equal one third
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation to show this:
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be the number of (1/6)'s.
\n" ); document.write( "(1/6)x = 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6 to solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6(1/3)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "So 2 (1/6)'s = (1/3)
