This is a ratio:
\n" ); document.write( "distance [1] / time [1] = distance[2] / time[2]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+1%2F5%29+%2F+1+=+2+%2F+t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+5t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+10+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "You could draw rectangles with heights
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1%2F5+\"$ and $\"+2+\"$ to show miles
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "rectangles with heights $\"+1+\"$ and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10+\"$ to show times ( on a different scale )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
