\n" ); document.write( "d=total distance from A to B
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Distance traveled=(1/6)d
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Distance remaining=total distance - distance traveled
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Distance remaining=d-(1/6)d
\n" ); document.write( "Distance remaining= (6/6)d-(1/6)d=(5/6)d
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "d=18 mi
\n" ); document.write( "(5/6)d=(5/6)18mi=(90/6)mi=15mi
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: He has 15 miles remaining.
