Answer:
One cubic foot of the stone weigh 10 tons.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a mistake in the question, thus it is corrected:
A typical stone on the lowest level of the great pyramid in Egypt was a rectangular prism 5 feet long by 5 feet high by 6 feet deep and weighed 15 tons. What was the volume of the average stone and how much did it one cubic foot of the stone weigh?
Now, to find the volume of average stone and how much one cubic foot of stone weigh.
Dimension of rectangular prism:
Length = 5 feet.
Height = 5 feet.
Width = 6 feet.
Now, to get the volume of stone which was a rectangular prism we put formula:
[tex]Volume=length\times width\times height[/tex]
[tex]Volume=5\times 6\times 5[/tex]
[tex]Volume=150\ cubic\ feet.[/tex]
The volume of the average stone was = 150 cubic feet.
Weight of stone = 15 tons.
Now, to get one cubic foot of the stone weigh we divide the volume of the average stone by weight of stone:
The volume of the average stone ÷ weight of stone
[tex]150\div 15[/tex]
[tex]=10\ tons.[/tex]
Therefore, one cubic foot of the stone weigh 10 tons.
