You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simply divide the two numbers. For instance $\"1%2F2\"$ becomes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Translate $\"1%2F2\"$ to:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "  _____\r\n" );
document.write( "2 | 1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Write 1 as 1.0. Now how many times does 2 go into 1.0 (think of this number as 10) It goes in 5 times. Remember to write in the decimal\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "  __0.5_\r\n" );
document.write( "2 | 1.0\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So $\"1%2F2=0.5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
