document.write( "The duck flies and walks, in total\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"3%2F4\" + \"1%2F9\" = \"%283%2A9%29%2F36+%2B+%281%2A4%29%2F36%29\" = \"%2827%2B4%29%2F36\" = \"31%2F36\"  of the way.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the duck swims  \"1+-+31%2F36\" = \"5%2F36\"  of the way.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "According to the problem,  \"5%2F36\"  of the way is  10 kilometers;\r\n" );

document.write( "hence,  \"1%2F36\"  of the way is 2 kilometers.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the entire way is 2*36 = 72 kilometers.    ANSWER\r\n" );
