Question

A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 9.5 feet, a width of 8 feet, and a height of 6.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.65 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

Answer:

321 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the container is in shape of rectangular prism type

also it is given : length = 9.5

width= 8 feet

and height = 6.5 feet

so the volume is

Volume of cuboid = l×b×h

= 9.5 × 8× 6.5

= 494 ft³

also we know that

1ft³ = 0.65 pound

so capacity of tank in pound

= 494×.65

= 321 pound

= 321 = 145 kg approximately
