Did you know?
Did you know that the filling time of a hose depends on the volume of the aquarium it is filling? In the given scenario, the hose takes 5 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium with dimensions 8 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. Now, if we want to fill another aquarium with dimensions 21 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 29 inches tall, we can use the concept of volume to determine the filling time. By calculating the volume of the first aquarium as 8 x 12 x 14 = 1344 cubic inches, we can set up a proportion: 1344 cubic inches / 5 minutes = volume of the second aquarium / x minutes. Solving this proportion, we find that it will take approximately x = 20.52 minutes for the same hose to fill the second aquarium. Therefore, the hose will take about 20.52 minutes to fill an aquarium measuring 21 inches by 24 inches by 29 inches.
