Question

If a rectangular prism was 5 feet long, 5 feet high and 6 feet deep, how much would it weigh if one cubic foot weighed 0.1 tons?

Answer 1

Total weight = 1,500 tons

Explanation:

Given:

l = 5 ft

b = 5 ft

h = 6 ft

One cubic foot weighed = 0.1 tons

Find:

Total weight

Computation:

Volume = lbh

Volume = (5)(5)(6)

Volume = 150 ft³

Total weight = Volume / 0.1

Total weight = 150 / 0.1

Total weight = 1,500 tons
