\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st pipe fills 1/5 of the tub per minute
\n" ); document.write( "The 2nd pipe fills 1/7 of the tub per minute
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Together, they fill 1/5 + 1/7 = 12/35 per minute
\n" ); document.write( "--> 35/12 minutes/tub
