The rate will be $\"+6%2F8+=+3%2F4+\"$ of the rate
\n" ); document.write( "with 8 taps open
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "With 8 taps:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = ( 1 tank filled ) / ( 27 min )
\n" ); document.write( "With 6 taps:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+3%2F4+%29%2A%28+1%2F27+%29+=+1%2F36+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "rate = ( 1 tank ) / ( 36 min )
\n" ); document.write( "the remaining taps take 36 min to fill the tank
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
