Three cubic feet of seawater weigh 192 pounds.

What is the weight of the seawater in an aquarium that is 4.4 ft long, 2.5 ft wide, and 5.3 ft high?

Answer 1

3731.2 pounds

For 3 cubic feet of sea water, weight is 192 pounds

For 58.3 cubic feet of sea water,

( 192 * 58.3) / 3 = 11193.6 / 3 = 3731.2 pounds
