\r\n" );
document.write( "Jerry's rate is  1 : \"2\"\"15%2F60\" = 1 : \"2\"\"1%2F4\" = 1 : \"9%2F4\" = \"1%2F%28%289%2F4%29%29\" = \"4%2F9\" of the car per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Timmy's rate is  1 : \"1\"\"25%2F60\" = 1 : \"1\"\"5%2F12\" = 1 : \"17%2F12\" = \"12%2F17\" of the car per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When they work together, their rate is \"4%2F9\" + \"12%2F17\" = \"%284%2A17+%2B+12%2A9%29%2F%289%2A17%29\" = \"176%2F153\" of the car per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, it will take \"153%2F176\" of an hour for Jerry and Timmy to wash the car working together.\r\n" );
