What numbers whose sum is between
\n" ); document.write( "18 and 30 are in that exact ratio?
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+6%2F6+%29%2A%28+5%2F1+%29+=+30%2F6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+30+%2B+6+=+36+\" doesn't work
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+5%2F5+%29%2A%28+5%2F1+%29+=+25%2F5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+25+%2B+5+=+30+\" this would work
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+4%2F4%29%2A%28+5%2F1+%29+=+20%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+20+%2B+4+=+24+\" this would work
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+3%2F3+%29%2A%28+5%2F1+%29+=+15%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15+%2B+3+=+18+\" this would work
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2F2+%29%2A%28+5%2F1+%29+=+10%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10+%2B+2+=+12+\" doesn't work
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
