1) we calculate the volume of the first carton:

volume=length x width x height

volume=3 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft=12 ft³

Therefore:

A machine can fill 12 ft³ in 3 seconds.

2) we calculate the volume of the second carton.

volume=length x width x heigth

volume=4 ft * 5 ft * 6 ft=120 ft³

3) we calculate the time that the machine needs for fill the second carton with packing material by the rule of three.

12 ft³---------------------3 seconds

120 ft³--------------------      x

x=(120 ft³ * 3 seconds) / 12 ft³=30 seconds.

answer: 30 seconds.
