What's a can of sofa?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "4:5 means that out of every 9, 4 are one and 5 the other. So, how many groups of 9 are there in 45? 45/9 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "So we have 5 groups of 9, and each group has 4 of one and 5 of the other
\n" ); document.write( "5 groups times 4 of DISABLED_event_one= 5*4 = 20 cans in this group
\n" ); document.write( "5 groups times 5 of the other = 5*5 = 25 cans in this other group
\n" ); document.write( "
