Question

A container built for transatlantic shipping is constructed in the shape of a right rectangular prism. Its dimensions are 7.5 ft by 7.5 ft by 6 ft. If the container is entirely full and, on average, its contents weigh 0.05 pounds per cubic foot, find the total weight of the contents. Round your answer to the nearest pound if necessary.

V = w h l

V = 7.5 * 7.5 * 6

V = 337.5cubic feet * 0.05
