\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = some unknown number
\n" ); document.write( "(2/5)x = two fifths of that number, \"of\" means \"multiply\"
\n" ); document.write( "4 = (2/5)x
\n" ); document.write( "5*4 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "20 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "4 is 2/5 of 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As a check,
\n" ); document.write( "(2/5)x = (2/5)*10 = (2*10)/5 = 20/5 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is confirmed.
