The volume of the container is the amount of can in it

The contents weigh 1047.1 ounces

<h3>How to determine the weight of the container?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Volume = 28.3 cubic feet

Average weight of can = 37 ounces per cubic foot

So, the weight of the container would be:

Weight = Volume * Average weight of can

Substitute known values

Weight = 28.3 cubic feet * 37 ounces per cubic foot

Evaluate the product

Weight = 1047.1 ounces

Hence, the contents weigh 1047.1 ounces
