You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This relies on composition of a composition. Start with British size, compose for US size, compose for Continental size. You may want to handle one composition at a time; not everything all at once, so maybe keeping clear what your steps are would be easier than trying to compose the whole thing at once.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "British to US is d(x), and x here is not yet some other defined function we know anything about. Just d(x) relies on the measured British size.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "US to Continental is the composition $\"highlight_green%28t%28d%28x%29%29%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "This now should be enough for you to understand the problem question more clearly and you to complete the solution. \n" ); document.write( "
