\"D%2F%2825mph%29+%2B+D%2F%2815mph%29+=+3hr\" |Multiplying thru by 75 so as all denominators = 1
\n" ); document.write( "3d + 5D = 225
\n" ); document.write( "8D = 225
\n" ); document.write( "D = 28.125k
\n" ); document.write( "\"28.125%2F%2825kph%29\" = 1.125hr boat must turn around
\n" ); document.write( "
