Let $\"+x+\"$ = the distance on the map
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+130+%2F+2+=+520+%2F+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+130x+=+2%2A520+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+1040+%2F+130+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The distance on the map is 8 in\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
