\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "ratio of turtles to fish in a pond is 2 to 5
\n" );
document.write( "a) a  total of 20 fish does not satisfy the proportionality 
\n" );
document.write( "b)6 turtles (constant of proportionality is 3)  ⇒ 6 + 5*3 = 21 fish
\n" );
document.write( "m&ms (ratio of red to green is 3:5)
\n" );
document.write( " 3x + 5x = 20, 8x = 20, x = 20/8...does not work
\n" );
document.write( " 35 green ( constant of proportionality is 7)
\n" );
document.write( "  3*7 + 35 = 56 m&ms \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
