Coins are dropped into a toll box so that the box is being filled at the rate of approximately 2 cubic feet per hour. If the empty rectangular box is 4 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 3 feet deep, approximately how many hours does it take to fill the box?

A) 4
B) 8
C) 16
D) 24
E) 48

The volume of the box is 4 x 4 x 3 = 48 cubic feet, so it will take approximately 48/2 = 24 hours to fill the box.

Answer: D

(A) 2
(B) 8
(C) 16
(D) 24
(E) 48

Time = Volume / Speed

\(= \frac{4*4*3}{2}=24 \) hrs.

Fill Rate: A volume of 2 cubic feet for every hour that elapses.

Volume to fill:

4 x 4 x 3 = 48 cubic feet

Then 48 :2 = 24 hours

Volume of rectangular box = 4*4*3 = 48 cubic feet.
2 cubic feet takes 1 hour
So, 48 cubic feet needs = 48/2 = 24 hours

To find the number of hours it takes to fill the box, we can divide the volume of the box by the rate at which it is being filled.

The volume of the box is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and depth:

Volume = 4 feet * 4 feet * 3 feet = 48 cubic feet

Given that the box is being filled at a rate of approximately 2 cubic feet per hour, we can set up the following equation:

Time = Volume / Rate = 48 cubic feet / 2 cubic feet per hour = 24 hours

Therefore, it would take approximately 24 hours to fill the box, corresponding to option (D).
