<span>Best you can do is describe a set:
John
</span>
5 inches = 5/12 = 0.4166 feet
23 x 18 x 0.4166 = 172.5 cubic feet
1 cubic foot = 0.037037 cubic yards
172.5 x 0.037037 = 6.39 round up to 6.5 cubic yards
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) we calculate the volume of the first carton:
volume=length x width x height
volume=3 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft=12 ft³
Therefore:
A machine can fill 12 ft³ in 3 seconds.
2) we calculate the volume of the second carton.
volume=length x width x heigth
volume=4 ft * 5 ft * 6 ft=120 ft³
3) we calculate the time that the machine needs for fill the second carton with packing material by the rule of three.
12 ft³---------------------3 seconds
120 ft³-------------------- x
x=(120 ft³ * 3 seconds) / 12 ft³=30 seconds.
answer: 30 seconds.
