Answer: 227 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, the volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated with the following formula:
Where "w" is the width of the rectangular prism, "l" is the length and "h" is the height of the rectangular prism.
In this case you know that:
Substituting values into the formula, you get that the volume of the shipping container is:
You know that it was completely filled with contents that weigh 0.56 pound per cubic foot, approximately. Then, its density is:
Since:
Where "m" is mass and "V" is volume, you can susbstitute values and solve for "m":
Step-by-step explanation:
l(m-n)+m(m-n)+n(n-l)
lm-ln+m²-mn+n²-nl
lm-2ln+m²+n²-mn
First, find a common denominator. Since both 6, 3, and 4 can be multiplied into 12, that will be or denominator.
1/6 becomes 2/12
2/3 becomes 8/12
and 1/4 becomes 3/12
2/12 + 8/12 = 10/12
The answer is 1 1/12
