Workers

Workers digging a jump pit in the schoolyard. The pit has a cuboid shape with a length 12 m, a width of 20 dm, and a depth of 36 cm. They excavate 0.4 cubic meters of soil an hour. How much time (hours and minutes) is need to excavate this pit?

Result

x = 21:36 h

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} V=abc=12\cdot 2\cdot 0.36=8.64m^3 \\ x=V\mathrm{/}0.4=21.6h=21:36\text{ h} \end{gathered}$$
