This is a ratio problem
\n" ); document.write( "feet / miles = feet / miles
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.3+%2F+250+=+1.82+%2F+d+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+250d+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.3d+=+1.82%2A250+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.3d+=+455+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+d+=+350+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "C and D are 350 mi apart
