Question 473020: A tub is shaped like a rectangular solid, with internal measurements of 2 feet*2 feet*5 feet. If two faucets, each with an output of 2 cubic feet of water per minute pour water into the tub simultaneously, how many minutes does it take to fill the tub completely?

Volume is length*width*height
Rate of water coming in is 2 cubic feet per faucet.
There are 2 faucets so total amount of water coming in is 4 cubic feet per minute.
We want to know how many minutes it takes for there to be 20 cubic feet.
Divide by 4 on both sides
Therefore, it will take 5 minutes to fill the tub.
