The area of one 1/6 inch hole = \"%28pi%29%281%2F12%29%5E2\" = \"%28pi%29%281%2F144%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "since the radius of the hole is 1/2 of the 1/6 inch diameter\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of one 1 inch hole = \"%28pi%29%281%2F2%29%5E2\" = \"%28pi%29%281%2F4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "since the radius of the hole is 1/2 of the 1 inch diameter\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number of small holes required =
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28pi%29%281%2F4%29+%2F+%28pi%29%281%2F144%29\" = \"%281%2F4%29+%2F%281%2F144%29\" = \"%281%2F4%29+%2A%28144%2F1%29\" = \"36\"
\n" ); document.write( "We need 36 (1/6) inch holes to have the same area as one 1 inch hole.
