A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 2.5 feet, a width of 13 feet, and a height of 11 feet. The container is completely filled with
contents that weigh, on average, 0.55 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the
contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

9514 1404 393

  197 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total weight, we can multiply the weight of each cubic foot by the number of them. The number of cubic feet is found using the volume formula ...

  V = LWH

  V = (2.5 ft)(13 ft)(11 ft) = 357.5 ft³

Then the total weight of the contents is ...

  (357.5 ft³)(0.55 lb/ft³) = 196.625 lb

The weight of the contents is about 197 pounds.
