Rate for the filling is wanted as quantity of water per 1 minute.
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity is not known other than as a count of \"water bottle\". Therefore, the unit of \"bottle\" is our only possible water quantity unit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is flow rate?
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28howMuchWater%29%2F%28howMuchTime%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "This is a rate, wording smashed together, but should explain what the flow rate means.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your example problem gives some data about the rate at which William fills his bottle.
\n" ); document.write( "How much water? \"1%2F3\" bottles.
\n" ); document.write( "How much time? .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This needs to be simplified, and if possible (yes, should be possible) form into how many bottles in ONE minute, meaning you will want a final answer showing a 1 in the denominator.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For 7th grade purposes, dividing by a fraction means the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%281%2F3%29%2F%285%2F9%29%29%28bottles%2Fminutes%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%29%289%2F5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%29%28%283%2A3%29%2F5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2A3%2A3%29%2F%283%2A5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%283%2F5%29\" bottles per minute.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This really says, or indicates \"three bottles in five minutes\". Maybe that is good enough for what he needs as his answer. OR this common simple fraction is also \"3%2F5\" bottles per minute or \"0.6%2A%28bottles%2Fminute%29\".
