\n" ); document.write( "I'll do problem 1 to get you started.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "something * 0.05 = 0.04
\n" ); document.write( "To isolate the \"something\", we need to undo what is happening to it.
\n" ); document.write( "We need to undo the multiplication.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To undo multiplication, we divide both sides by 0.05
\n" ); document.write( "something = 0.04/0.05 = 4/5 = 0.8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As a check,
\n" ); document.write( "0.8 * 0.05 = 0.04
\n" ); document.write( "0.04 = 0.04
\n" ); document.write( "which confirms we have the correct value to fill in the blank.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Problems 2 and 3 will follow a similar pathway.
