Answer:
The weight of the brick is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the weigh of Lou’s brick given the dimensions of the shape of the brick and the weight of the clay.
To answer this question quite aptly, we need to know exactly the volume of the rectangular prism given the dimensions we have in the question.
To calculate this volume , we simply use the measurements we have to get it.
mathematically the volume of a rectangular prism is simply V = w * h * l
where w , h and l are width, height and length respectively.
now let’s calculate!
V = 3.5 * 2.25 * 8 = 63 inches^3
Now we need to know what the brick weigh in ounce. We already have the weight of the clay. now this is equal to the volume of the brick divided by the weight of the clay.
Mathematically this is = 63/1.055 = 59.72 ounce which is 60 ounce to the nearest ounce
