\r\n" );
document.write( "Two pumps, working together, drain    of the tank volume per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The older tank drains   of the tank volume per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the newer pump drains   -  =  =  =   of the tank volume per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, it will take 4 hours for the newer pump to drain the tank working alone.\r\n" );
