\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(amount of cholesterol)/(amount of yogurt) = (amount of cholesterol)/(amount of yogurt)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(20 mg of cholesterol)/(8 oz of yogurt) = (x mg of cholesterol)/(5 oz of yogurt)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20/8 = x/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20*5 = 8*x .... cross multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100 = 8x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x = 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x/8 = 100/8 ... divided both sides by 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 12.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 12.5 mg of cholesterol in 5 ounces of yogurt.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
