Almost a simple proportion.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c for amount of cement mix
\n" ); document.write( "g for amount of gravel
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%2Bg=90\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The proportion you might want to arrange is using \"%285%2F1%29%28poundsCementMix%2FpoundsGravel%29\". Using this ratio to set a proportion will mean you may use g as your main variable, and then \"c=90-g\". \r
