    V=lwh for a rectangle

    18*32*27=v

    v=15,552in^3

    15,552/12=1296ft^3 converts feet to inches

    6*6*6=216ft^3 this is how much is filled up in a minute

    1296/216=6 minutes.

    The volume of a rectuangular prism is length*width*height

    in this case, the volume will be 18*32*27 = 15,552 cubic inches.

    water flows in by cubic feet, so we'll need to either transformthe volume of the tank to feet, or the volume of water flow to inches. in this case, it will make our life easier if we turn the tank valume into feet. 15,552 inches is exactly 1296 feet.

    water flows in 6 cubic feet per minute, so we calculate that 1,296 : 6 = 216

    water will be flowing in for 3 hours and 36 minutes thusly.
