Question

A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 5 feet, a width of 12.5 feet, and a height of 14 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.78 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

683lb

Explanation:

Answer 2

102 pounds

Explanation:

Volume of Right rectangular prism = 12 * 8.5 * 4 = 408 cubic feet

Density = Mass / Volume

=> 0.25 = Weight of contents in container / Volume of container

=> 0.25 = Weight of contents in container / 408

=> Weight of contents in container = 0.25 * 408

=> Weight of contents in container = 102 pounds
