\n" ); document.write( "Start:: 4 2/5 pts
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract:: x pts
\n" ); document.write( "Now have:: 2 1/5 pts
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "4 2/5 - x = 2 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4 2/5 - 2 1/5 = 2 1/5 (amt. of magenta he used)
\n" ); document.write( " -----
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: # of cans of PP made = (2 1/5)/(1/5) = (11/5)/(1/5) = 11 cans
