Using the formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+d+=+r%2At+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+r+=+d%2A%28+1%2Ft+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this example, $\"+d+\"$ is the constant of proportionality
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+50+=+d%2A%28+1%2F24+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+d+=+1200+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+r+=+75+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+r+=+d%2A%28+1%2Ft+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+75+=+1200%2A%28+1%2Ft+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+1200%2F75+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "It will take 16 hrs to drive to Denver \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
