Space in the bathtub is \"50-20=30\" gallons.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let m = minutes of time that tub is filling, \"2.4%2Am=30\" gallons required. We are looking for a whole number for m. If the theoretically computed m is nonwhole, we would want the nearest integer greater than m. First, solve for m.
