\n" ); document.write( "

Let the numerator be N
\n" );
document.write( "Than the denominator = 44 - N
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 
\n" );
document.write( "6N = 5(44 - N) ------- Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( "6N = 220 - 5N
\n" );
document.write( "11N = 220
\n" );
document.write( "Numerator or 
\n" );
document.write( "Denominator: 44 - 20 = 24
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
