Let $\"+a+\"$ = calories in 1 gram of fat
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+b+\"$ = calories in 1 gram of carb
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+a%2Fb+=+1.8%2F1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+%288a%29%2F%288b%29+=+%28+8%2A1.8%29%2F%28+8%2A1%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) and (2) are the same equation, so
