document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  At the second scenario, the rate of work of one worker is   widgets per hour,  where  x  is the unknown time under the question (in hours).\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3.  Write the proportion (equation) saying that the rate of work is the same in both cases\r\n" );
