document.write( "1.  Since \"there are 2 quarters for every 3 nickels\", you can easily determine the number of quarters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    For it, divide 45 by 3 to get 15 and then multiply by 2 to get the number of quarters: 30.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  Since \"There are . . . 2 dimes for every quarter\", the number of dimes is 2*30 = 60.\r\n" );
