document.write( "The problem says that there are 3 equal parts (volumes) of water and 2 equal parts (volumes) of acid.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means 5 parts of the mixture liquid, in all.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5 parts comprise 12.5 liters - hence, each part is   = 2.5 liters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus you get the answer:  3*2.5 liters = 7.5 liters of water and 2*2.5 liters = 5 liters of the acid.\r\n" );
