Respuesta :

The volume is 960 cu in. 3 minutes

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

[tex] \text{Volume of can }=960 \ in^3\\ [/tex]

Time required to fill the can[tex] =\frac{960}{320}=3 \ minutes\\ [/tex]

Hence Time required to fill the can =3 minutes.
