\r\n" );
document.write( "Two hoses, working together, fill    of the pool volume per minute.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The larger hose, working alone, fills    of the pool volume per minute.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the smaller hose fills   =  =   of the pool volume per minute, working alone.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the smaller hose can fill the pool in 120 minutes = 2 hours, working alone.    ANSWER\r\n" );
