\r\n" );
document.write( "The two pumps drain  \"1%2F6\"  of the pool volume per hour, working together.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The new pump drains  \"1%2F14\"  of the pool volume per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Working alone, the old pump drains  \"1%2F6+-+1%2F14\" = \"7%2F42+-+3%2F42\" = \"4%2F42\" = \"2%2F21\"  of the poll volume per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the new pump needs  \"21%2F2\" = \"10\"\"1%2F2\" hours = 10 hours and 30 minutes to drain the pool.    ANSWER\r\n" );
