Look carefully at the first part:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = some volume of water in liters to add to make the 6 liters of 45% alcohol.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2A96%2F%281%2Bw%29=45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"45%28w%2B1%29=96\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"45w%2B45=96\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"45w=96-45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w=51%2F45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w=1%266%2F45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28w=1%262%2F15%29\"$ ;
\n" ); document.write( "This means 1 liter plus $\"1%262%2F15\"$ liter gives only $\"2%262%2F15\"$ liters, NOT 6 liters. The problem description and/or question is incorrect.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Write the exact problem description and question word-for-word as your instructional material gave. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
