Question

A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 13 feet, a width of 9 feet, and a height of 4 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.61 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

285pound

Explanation:

Volume of the container = length * width * height

= 13 * 9 * 4

= 468 cubic feet

Weight of the contents in the container = 468 * 0.61 = 285.48 = 285pound
