Use ( minutes ) x ( hours / minute ) = hours
\n" ); document.write( "to change units
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+20%2A%281%2F60%29+=+1%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So, $\"+20+\"$ minutes is $\"+1%2F3+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now convert $\"+2+\"$ hrs to one-thirds of an hour
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F3+=+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So, $\"+6%2F3+=+2+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Adding up, I have $\"+6%2F3+%2B+1%2F3+=+7%2F3+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use $\"+d+=+r%2At+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+d+=+65%2A%287%2F3%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+d+=+455%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+d+=+151.667+\"$ miles\r
