since 150 + 210 = 360
\n" ); document.write( "time to scan ocean/time to scan land = 210/150
\n" ); document.write( "\"210%2F150+=+7%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "If \"t\" = time in minutes to scan ocean, then
\n" ); document.write( "\"1+-+t\" = time in minutes to scan land
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2F5+=+t%2F%281-t%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"5%2A%281-t%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2A%281-t%29+=+5t\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7+-+7t+=+5t\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12t+=+7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+7%2F12\" min
\n" ); document.write( "\"%287%2F12%29%2A60+=+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "It takes 35 sec to scan the ocean\r
