\r\n" );
document.write( "Oak:      12\r\n" );
document.write( "Pine:     __  (0ne-fifth of 30; you can do that part)\r\n" );
document.write( "Willow:    3\r\n" );
document.write( "Fruit:     x  (the rest, to make a total of 30)\r\n" );
document.write( "-------------\r\n" );
document.write( "total:    30

\n" ); document.write( "willow:fruit = 3:x

\n" ); document.write( "Then simplify the ratio if necessary \n" ); document.write( "
