Answer:

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
