Convert to inches:
\n" ); document.write( "5ft 6in = 60in
\n" ); document.write( "6ft = 72 in\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"60%2F72+=+5%2F6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "30ft = 360in
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F6=x%2F360\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6x=1800\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=300in\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "300in = 25ft
