Question: 1 / 400

How much does an object that measures 5' long, 3' wide, and 2' high weigh if the weight per cubic foot is 150 pounds?

1,350 pounds

4,500 pounds

To determine the weight of the object, you first need to calculate its volume. The volume of a rectangular object can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = Length × Width × Height

In this case, you have:

- Length = 5 feet

- Width = 3 feet

- Height = 2 feet

Calculating the volume gives:

Volume = 5 ft × 3 ft × 2 ft = 30 cubic feet

Next, to find the weight of the object, you multiply the volume by the weight per cubic foot. Given that the weight per cubic foot is 150 pounds, you perform the following calculation:

Weight = Volume × Weight per cubic foot = 30 cubic feet × 150 pounds/cubic foot = 4,500 pounds

Since the provided answer suggests correctly calculating based on a different weight measure, we recognize that such a result can be re-evaluated in context, reaffirming the understanding of how dimensional weight calculations scale with cubic measures. However, from the options listed, the intention was verified with accurate mathematics leading to the weight scaling back down.

Thus, a reevaluation would suggest different context; the precise calculations yield the higher number, indicating there may have been a misinterpretation of
