$\"+2%2F1+\"$ ft/sec is the rate of the belt
\n" ); document.write( "This is the same rate as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10%2F5+\"$ ft/sec
\n" ); document.write( "The bottles are $\"+5+\"$ ft apart, so the
\n" ); document.write( "rate will be $\"+2%2F5+\"$ bottles/sec
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In terms of units:
\n" ); document.write( "[ bottles/sec ] x [ sec ] = [ bottles ]
\n" ); document.write( "Convert $\"+1+\"$ min to $\"+60+\"$ sec
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%282%2F5%29%2A60+=+24+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "24 bottles will be packed in 1 min
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "I think the answer could possibly be $\"+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "if the 1st bottle is all ready to be packed.
\n" ); document.write( "I'll stick with $\"+24+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
