You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Set up a ratio
\n" ); document.write( "First convert $\"+1+\"$ liter to $\"+1000+\"$ ml
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+x+\"$ = ml of fruit juice
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1000+%2F+60+=+x+%2F+1.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "This is OK because you have:
\n" ); document.write( "[ ml ] / [ grams ] = [ ml ] / [ grams ]
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1000+=+40x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+25++\"$
\n" ); document.write( "25 ml of fruit juice contain 1.5 g of sugar
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1000+%2F+60+=+25+%2F+1.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+16.667+=+16.667+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
