Answer:

The weight of the sea water in the aquarium is 3827.119 lb

Explanation:

We start by calculating the volume of the aquarium

Since it is a cuboid, the volume will be L * B * H

= 4.4 * 2.5 * 5.3 = 58.3 ft^3

Mathematically;

Mass = density * volume

The density of sea water is 63.93 lb/ft^3

Mass = 63,93 * 58.3 = 3,827.119 lb
