document.write( "From the first part of the condition, the rate of work of one worker per day is \"100%2F%2815%2A14%29\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Next step is to find how many men is required to plough 250 acres in 21 day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "For it, divide \"250%2F21\" by the rate of work of one worker per day:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"250%2F21\" : \"100%2F%2815%2A14%29\" = \"%28%28250%2F21%29%29%2F%28%28100%2F%2815%2A14%29%29%29\" =\r\n" );

document.write( "Now the answer to the problem's question is:  25 - 15 = 10 more men will be required.\r\n" );
