document.write( "That's 52 fluid ounces of water plus the 12 fluid ounces of \r\n" );
document.write( "concentrated juice.  So that's 52+12 = 64 fluid ounces of drinkable\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces.  Therefore the pitcher is exactly half full,\r\n" );
