A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 2 feet, a width of 1.5 feet, and a height of 3.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.49 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of the container = 2*1.5*3.5= 10.5cubic foot.

Density of the content = 0.49 pound per cubic foot.

As already know,

Density = mass/ volume.

therefore, mass = density * volume.

mass of the content = 0.49 * 10.5 =5 pounds approximately
