r * t = u\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r rate.
\n" ); document.write( "t = time
\n" ); document.write( "u = units\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the unit is 1 bucket full of water.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the time is 5 minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r * 5 = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 5 to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r = 1/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the bucket is being filled at the rate of 1/5 of the bucket per minute.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r * 1 = 1/5 * 1 = 1/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in one minute, 1/5 of the bucket has been filled.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
