\"k\"= the length of the trail that Emily has walked (as percent of the total trail
\n" ); document.write( "\"100-k\"= the length of the trail that Emily has left to go (as percent of the total trail
\n" ); document.write( "\"100\" = the length of the trail (as percent of the total trail)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10\"= the length of the trail that Emily has left to go (in km)
\n" ); document.write( "\"L\"= the length of the trail (in km)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The ratios of total distance to distance left to go are
\n" ); document.write( "\"L%2F10\" and \"100%2F%28100-k%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Those expressions are the same ratio/fraction, calculated using different units, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"L%2F10=100%2F%28100-k%29\"---->\"L=10%28100%2F%28100-k%29%29\"---->\"L=highlight%281000%2F%28100-k%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you are typing on one line, you would write it as \"L=%221000+%2F+%28+100+-+k+%29%22\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
