Bill wants to fill his pool up. A fire hose sprays 13.5 times per minute faster than a garden hose. If the fire hose and garden hose combined fill the pool in 107 minutes, how long would it take for the garden hose alone to fill the pool?\r

Garden hose takes 13.5 TIMES AS LONG as the fire hose, not 13.5 times longer.

document.write( "Thus, garden hose takes:  minutes \n" );
