You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your rate of cutting pipe is ( 1 pipe ) / ( 7 min )
\n" ); document.write( "Set up the ratio{
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1%2F7+=+50+%2F+t+\"$ where $\"+t+\"$ = time in minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+7t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+350+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+350+%2F+60+=+5+%2B+5%2F6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%285%2F6%29%2A60+=+50+\"$ min
\n" ); document.write( "It will take 5 hrs and 50 min \n" ); document.write( "
