You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use rate unit as POOL per MINUTES.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "                RATE\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Garden Hose      \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Fire Hose        \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "BOTH             \r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To try to make the two separate rates relationship clearer, try to compare their rates and see how the comparison agrees with the description.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When that is understood, solve for x, in $\"1%2F%2813.5x%29%2B1%2Fx=1%2F107\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
