Question

It takes a hose 2 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium 12 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. How long will it take the same hose to fill an aquarium measuring 32 inches by 34 inches by 35 inches?

Answer 1

Volume of the first aquarium =  (12" x 13" x 14") = 2,184 inches³

Volume of the second aquarium = (32" x 34" x 35") = 38,080 inches³

The second aquarium has (38,080 / 2,184) = 17.44 times as much
volume as the first aquarium has.

So it'll take the hose  17.44 times as long to fill the second one

                              =  (17.44) x (2 minutes)  =  34.9 minutes.
