Let's see what happens under a minute. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Filling rate = 1/12min
\n" ); document.write( "Draining rate = - 1/30min\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Together: 1/12-1/30 = 1/x, where x represents the time it takes to fill the tub.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F12-1%2F30=1%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F60-2%2F60=1%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F60=1%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F20=1%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It would take 20 minutes to fill the tub.\r
