Set up a ratio using the same units of measure
\n" ); document.write( "for both the oil and the gasoline
\n" ); document.write( "Use the conversion:
\n" ); document.write( "16 ounces = 1 gallon
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio looks like:
\n" ); document.write( "[ ounces of oil ] / [ ounces of gasoline ] =
\n" ); document.write( "[ ounces of oil ] / [ ounces of gasolinw ]
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = ounces of oil needed
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.8+%2F+16+=+x+%2F+%28+3.24%2A16+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.8+%2F+16+=+x+%2F+51.84+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+16%2A51.84+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.8%2A51.84+=+16x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+93.31+=+16x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+5.83+\"
\n" ); document.write( "5.83 ounces of oil are needed
\n" ); document.write( "for 3.24 gallons of gasoline
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check the math\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
