You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"k\"$ = (number of bulbs)*(time batteries last)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k+=+1%2A6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k+=+2%2A3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "These examples are given. From them I conclude that $\"k+=+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6+=+3%2At\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t+=+2\"$ hrs with 3 bulbs burning \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
