\n" ); document.write( "Here is a simple equation you can use to solve this
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time required working all together
\n" ); document.write( "Let the completed job = 1 (the mixing of 20 drinks)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t%2F5\"$ + $\"t%2F10\"$ + $\"t%2F15\"$ = 1
\n" ); document.write( "You can clear the denominators by multiplying by 30, and solve for t \n" ); document.write( "
