document.write( "Let x = \"how many minutes would be needed for 10 frogs to be able to eat 20 bugs\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The rate of eating is    in the first case, in terms of bugs per frog per minute.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In the second case, the rate of eating is  .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "These rates are assumed to be equal, so you get a proportion \r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     = .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the last proportion,\r\n" );
