document.write( "    0.1*64 = 0.02*V\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "which gives  V =  =  = 5*64 = 320 ounces.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that 320-64 = 256 ounces of water should be added.    ANSWER\r\n" );
