Unknown words per minute, r, for the first part.
\n" ); document.write( "Eight jobs in 3 hours at unknown rate, r.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Second part, r+60 words per minute, but 1 hour (\"2 hours faster\");
\n" ); document.write( "Same number of jobs.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r%2A3=%28r%2B60%29%2A1\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"3r=r%2B60\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2r=60\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"cross%28r=30%29\"------------- original speed.....\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Not \"by 60\", but as \"to 60\" words per minute:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28r%29%283%29=%2860%29%281%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r=60%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r=20\"-------------original speed, words per minute
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
