Way too wide open. A story gives possible equations; but an equation does not give a story.

You have a rational expression. Maybe try to pick something describable as uniform or constant rates. 2%2F%283x%29, could indicate that two of something is done in three times longer amount of time than one of something.

You need to make your own story.
