Answer:

3600 pounds

Explanation:

One cubic foot of a chemical weighs 60 pounds.

1 ft³ of chemical = 60 pounds

We need to find how many pounds in the container whose dimension 6 ft, 4 ft and 2.5 ft

l = 6 ft

b = 4 ft

h = 2.5 ft

Volume of box = lbh

= 6 x 4 x 2.5

= 60 ft³

As we are given

1 ft³ of chemical = 60 pounds

60 ft³ of chemical = 60 x 60 = 3600 pounds

Hence, In container contains 3600 pounds of chemicals.
