What is asked in the problem?
\n" ); document.write( "How many loaves of nutbread did you make?
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%283%2F4%29\" c of sugar was used baking muffins and nutbread.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%281%2F2%29\" c of sugar was used for the muffins.
\n" ); document.write( "it calls \"1%283%2F4%29\" c of sugar per loaf of nutbread.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Operation used :
\n" ); document.write( "Subtraction of fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "Division of fractions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
Subtract the total sugar used for muffins and nutbread and the sugar used for muffins. what will be left will be the sugar that is used for nutbread.
\n" ); document.write( "
Total sugar used less the sugar used in baking muffins = sugar for nutbread
\n" ); document.write( "
\"6%283%2F4%29\"c - \"1%281%2F2%29\"c
\n" ); document.write( " = \"6%283%2F4%29\" - \"1%282%2F4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " = \"5%281%2F4%29\"c sugar used for nutbread\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "it calls \"1%283%2F4%29\" c of sugar per loaf of nutbread, you have \"5%281%2F4%29\". how many loaves can you make out of that. Divide \"5+1%2F4\" by \"1%283%2F4%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"5%281%2F4%29\" ÷ \"1%283%2F4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
= \"21%2F+4+%F7+7%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
= \"21%2F+4+%B7+4%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "
= \"21%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "
= \"highlight+%283+loaves%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
