$\"4.6%2F23++=++x%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "X = number of gallons in 4 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4.6%2A4++=++23%2Ax\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18.4++=++23x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 23
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18.4%2F23++=++x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In 4 minutes, you would use $\"18.4%2F23\"$ gallons of water. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
