You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll do a couple so you get the hang of it.
m%2F25=16%2F98
To estimate round up or down to get to a simpler calculation.
m%2F25=16%2F100
m=%2816%2F100%29%2825%29
m=16%2F4
m=4
So m is approximately 4 (actually it's 4.08 so that's pretty good).
.
.
7%2F3=52%2Fn
6%2F3=50%2Fn
2=50%2Fn
n=50%2F2
n=25 where it's actually 22.3
.

Do the others in a similar way.
