Work out the total volume
* area of the trapezium multiplied by width
Work out the volume water goes down in 20 mins
* this is at the top of the shape, so its just a cuboid with the given depth
Divide the two volumes and multipy by 20 mins to get the total time.

Which bits are you having trouble with?

Looks like your volume calculation is wrong or your time subtract at the end.

Instead of doing 120-30 you had to add them together 120+30 = 150
150 is your answer
