Question

A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 2.5 feet, a width of 13 feet, and a height of 11 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.55 pounds per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

Volume = 2.5 x 13 x 11

Volume = 357.5

357.5 x 0.55 = 196.625, which can be rounded up to 197.

So, the correct answer is 197 pounds.
