document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     -  = 24.\r\n" );

document.write( "Multiply both sides by 12\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The entire distance is 288 kilometres.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Pius just traveled one quarter of it, i.e.  288/4 = 72 kilometers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, he still has to travel  288 - 72 = 216 kilometres to reach his destination.     ANSWER\r\n" );
