document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The fraction  is ALSO read as \"five thousandths\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So they are the same thing.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We can't \"reduce\" the decimal, but we CAN reduce the fraction!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We divide the top and bottom of  by 5\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's a quotient of two integers because 1 and 200 are both\r\n" );
document.write( "integers and putting one over the other is dividing and when\r\n" );
document.write( "we divide we get a quotient.\r\n" );
