If 2 blobs=3 glops and 3 blobs= 2 chunks, then 1 chunk= x glops.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the value of x?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "We make unit multipliers to change chunks to globs\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Our path is chunk -> blob -> glop\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We start with 1 chunk over 1, then we create a unit multiplier\r\n" );
document.write( "that has \"chunk\" in the denominator to cancel the \"chunk\" in the\r\n" );
document.write( "previous numerator and that has \"blob\" in the numerator.  Then we \r\n" );
document.write( "create another unit multiplier that has \"blob\" in the denominator \r\n" );
document.write( "to cancel the \"blob\" in the previous numerator and that has \"glop\" \r\n" );
document.write( "in the numerator.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We cancel the two \"chunk\"s:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We cancel the two \"blob\"s:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "That leaves only:\r\n" );

document.write( "So you're right. But the correct method to use is unit multipliers,\r\n" );
