\n" ); document.write( "SO IN 1 HOUR WE CAN FILL 1/10 POOL
\n" ); document.write( " When full, the pool can be drained in 16 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "SO IN 1 HOUR 1/16 POOL WILL BE DRAINED
\n" ); document.write( " How long will it take to fill the pool if the drain is left open?
\n" ); document.write( "SO IN 1 HOUR 1/10 - 1/16 = (8-5)/80 = 3/80 POOL WILL BE FILLED
\n" ); document.write( "SO IT TAKES 80/3 = 26.67 HRS TO FILL THE POOL
