17t + 14.5t = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "31.5t = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = 10/31.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t = 0.317\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So it will take roughly 0.317 hours (which is about 19.047 minutes)
\n" ); document.write( "
