document.write( "(1)  1 cm on the plan is 2 m in reality.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     Therefore, the length of 7 cm on the plan is 2*7 = 14 m in reality.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     So, the actual length is 14 m.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     Again, 1 cm on the plan is 2 m in reality.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     Therefore, the breadth of 4.5 cm on the plan is 2*4.5 = 9 m in reality.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     So, the actual breadth is 9 m.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "(2)  There are 3 hours and 15 minutes from 8:45 pm to midnight\r\n" );

document.write( "     and there are 4 hours and 15 minutes from midnight to 4:15 am.\r\n" );

document.write( "     So, the entire journey is (3+4) hours and (15+15) minutes, or 7 hours and 30 minutes.\r\n" );
