The given is the total area of 5 faces of a cube.


So, the area of one single face is   = 202.8 square feet,

and the edge length is   = 14.24 feet (approximately; rounded).


Thus the volume of the cuboid aquarium is  V =  = 2888 cubic feet.


Then the time to pour this volume of water into the empty aquarium at a rate of 6 cubic feet per minute is


    time =  = 481 minutes.    ANSWER
