You can put this solution on YOUR website!
So the units will work, you have to get the ratio
\n" ); document.write( "into a form like:
\n" ); document.write( "( inches ) / ( sec ) = ( inches ) / ( sec )
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Convert $\"+28+\"$ ft to inches
\n" ); document.write( "( ft )x( in / ft ) = in
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+28%2A%28+12+%2F+1+%29+=+336+\"$ in
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Convert $\"+18+\"$ min to sec
\n" ); document.write( "( min )x( sec / min ) = sec
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+18%2A%28+60%2F1+%29+=+1080+\"$ sec
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now I can say
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+336+%2F+1080+=+x+%2F+216+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+14+%2F+45++=+x+%2F+216+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+45%2A216+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+14%2A216+=+45x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+3024+%2F+45+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+67.2+\"$ in
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
