1/8:2/3:: 75:x = $\"%281%2F8%29%2F%282%2F3%29+=75%2Fx\"$
\n" ); document.write( " move x to the left
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F8%29%2F%282%2F3%29%2Ax+=75%2F1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " move 2/3 to the right
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F8%29%2Ax+=75%2F1%2A%282%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F8%29%2Ax+=25%2F1%2A%282%2F1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F8%29%2Ax+=25%2A2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F8+=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( "move 8 to the right
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=50%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " x=400
\n" ); document.write( "result is 400 \n" ); document.write( "
