Loy has a solid clay brick in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of 2.25 inches. If the clay weighs 1.055 oz/in3. How much does Lou's brick weigh, to the nearest ounce?

Loy has a solid clay brick in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length, width and height are respectively of 8 inches, 3.5 inches, and 2.25 inches.

Therefore, the volume of a brick will be (8 × 3.5 × 2.25) = 63 cubic inches.

Now, the clay in the brick weighs 1.055 oz / inch³, then the weight of each clay brick will be (1.055 × 63) = 66.465 oz i.e. 66 ounces. (Answer)

Answer:

66 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Loy has a solid clay brick in the shape of a rectangular prism with a

Length of 8 inches,

Width of 3.5 inches,

Height of 2.25 inches

The clay weighs 1.055 oz/in3

Question asked:

How much does Lou's brick weigh, to the nearest ounce ?

Solution:

First of all we will find volume of bricks :-

As we know:

[tex]Volume\ of\ rectangular\ prism = length \times breadth\times height[/tex]

[tex]=8\times3.5\times2.25\times\\=63\ cubic\ inches[/tex]

Now, to calculate weight of bricks:-

It is understood that weight of clay = weight of brick

Given:

1 cubic inches of clay or bricks weigh = 1.055 ounces

63 cubic inches of clay or bricks weigh = [tex]1.055\times63=66.465\ ounces[/tex]

Therefore, weight of Lou's brick is 66 ounces. ( nearest ounces )
