Tina's rate of working:
\n" ); document.write( "[ 1 garden weeded ] / [ 20 min ]
\n" ); document.write( "Marisa's rate of working:
\n" ); document.write( "[ 1 garden weeded ] / [ 50 min ]
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add their rates of working to get their rate
\n" ); document.write( "working together, which is:
\n" ); document.write( "[ 1 garden weeded ] / [ t min ]
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F20+%2B+1%2F50+=+1%2Ft+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+100t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5t+%2B+2t+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7t+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+14+%2B+2%2F7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%282%2F7%29%2A60+=+17.14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Working together, it will take them
\n" ); document.write( "14 min 17 sec
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F20+%2B+1%2F50+=+1%2F%28100%2F7%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.05+%2B+.02+=+.07+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
