The height is 2/3 of the width and the length is double the width. If Megan plans on covering the entire outside of the box without wasting any paper, how many square inches of paper will Megan need? |

3) In a sudden downpour, rain falls at a rate of 1 inch per hour for 20 minutes on Mr. Duggan's roof. One piece of his roof is a rectangle that is 40 feet by 30 feet and all the rain rolls off into a gutter that feeds into a down spout that flows into a rain barrel with no backing up. How fast is the water flowing into the rain barrel during the middle of this downpour? Give your answer to the nearest gallon per minute.
