A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 13.5 feet, a width of 10.5 feet, and a height of 2.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.33 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Volume of the container, V = L*W*H = 13.5*10.5*2.5 = 354.375 ft^3

Now,
1 ft^3 = 0.33 pounds
354.375 ft^3 = ?

Therefore,
Weight of the content in the container = 354.375*0.33 = 116.94 Pounds

The total weight of the container is given by:
Total weight=(volume of the container)*(weight per cubic volume)
volume of the container
=length*width*height
=13.5×10.5×2.5
=354.375 ft³

weight per cubic volume=0.33 pound per cubic ft

Total weight=354.375×0.33=116.94375 pounds~117 pounds
