+6+%2F+10+ ounces / minutes
+%28+3%2F5+%29+%2F+1+ ounces / min
-----------------------
+8+%2F+12+ ounces / minutes
+%28+8%2F12+%29+%2F+1+ ounces / min
+%28+2%2F3+%29+%2F+1+ ounces / min
--------------------------
The ratio is:
kitchen / bathroom = +%28+3%2F5%29+%2F+%28+2%2F3+%29+
+%283%2F5%29%2A%28+3%2F2+%29+=+9%2F10+
