Let \"+t+\" = Julie's time in hrs mowing alone
\n" ); document.write( "Maggie's rate of mowing:
\n" ); document.write( "[ 1 lawn mowed ] / [ 6 hrs ]
\n" ); document.write( "Julie's rate of mowing:
\n" ); document.write( "[ 1 lawn mowed ] / [ t hrs ]
\n" ); document.write( "Their rate mowing together:
\n" ); document.write( "[ 1 lawn mowed ] / [ 2 hrs ]
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add their rates of mowing to get
\n" ); document.write( "their rate mowing together:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F6+%2B+1%2Ft+=+1%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+6t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+%2B+6+=+3t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2t+=+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+3+\" hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Julie will take 3 hrs to mow the lawn alone
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F6+%2B+1%2F3+=+1%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F6+%2B+2%2F6+=+3%2F6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%2F6+=+3%2F6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
