Both go open at the same time and rates of each are additive. Use tank-fill per time for the rate.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Which Tank________Rate_______________Time____________jobs
\n" ); document.write( "Tank 1_____________1/27_____________(___)____________
\n" ); document.write( "Tank 2_____________1/53_____________(___)___________
\n" ); document.write( "combined________1/27+1/53__________(___)____________1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Combined rate is 80/1431 tanks-worth per minute.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1 job) *(1431/80 minutes per job) = 1431/80 minutes to fill the tank. This is 17.88 minutes, or 17 minutes and 53 seconds. \n" ); document.write( "
