A bathtub is filled with water. It holds 60 cubic feet of water. The tub is 6 feet long and 5 feet wide. What is the height of the tub?
60 ft^3 / (6 ft * 5 ft) = ? ft

To find the height of the tub, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
In this case, we are given the volume (60 cubic feet), length (6 feet), and width (5 feet), and we need to find the height.
Plugging in the given values into the formula, we get:
60 = 6 x 5 x Height
To solve for the height, we can divide both sides of the equation by (6 x 5):
60 / (6 x 5) = Height
The result is:
2 = Height
Therefore, the height of the tub is 2 feet.
