FISHY PROBLEM...

Our class bought a fish tank for our pet fish. The tank has a base of 12 inches x 18 inches and is 12 inches in height.
Mr. Pham is filling the tank with water and he wants to know that if the faucet let out 3 cubic inches of water every second, how many seconds (or minutes) until the fish tank is full? Who can help him with this problem?

ANSWER: For a fish tank with a volume of 2,592 cubic inches, and the faucet letting out water at 3 cubic inches per second, it will take 864 seconds (14 minutes and 24 seconds) to fill up the tank.
The Math:
V = 12 x 18 x 12 = 2,592 cubic inches. 3 cubic inches of water every second.
2,592 ÷ 3 = 864 seconds.
