Solution:

The gas can is filled at the rate of 320 cubic inches per minute.

The can is 10 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 12 inches high.

So volume of the can=10 in*8 in *12 in

$\text{Volume of can }=960 \ in^3\\$

Time required to fill the can $=\frac{960}{320}=3 \ minutes\\$

Hence Time required to fill the can =3 minutes.
