Answer:

You can hold 188.19 or a rounded 188 pounds per cubic feet

Explanation:

First we need to find the area which is 271

I found this using the formula 2(WL+HL+HW)

If you can fit 271 square feet then you need to divide that by 4 to find cubic feet.

if you do this you get 67.75 cubic feet

next divide 67.75 by 0.36

you get 188.19
