\"+R%5B1%5D+=+1%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R%5B2%5D+=+1%2F8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I could ask:
\n" ); document.write( "\" What % of recipe 1 is recipe 2 ?\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+1%2F8+%29+%2F+%28+1%2F2+%29+=+%28+2%2F1+%29%2A%28+1%2F8+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+1%2F8+%29+%2F+%28+1%2F2+%29+=+1%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F4%29%2A100+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, recipe 2 is 25% of recipe 1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I could also ask:
\n" ); document.write( "\" How much more flour do I use in recipe 1 than recipe 2 ?\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F2+-+1%2F8+=+4%2F8+-+1%2F8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F2+-+1%2F8+=+3%2F8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "so, I use 3/8 of a cup more in recipe 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
