Question

17. A soup company sells chicken broth in a container shaped like a rectangular prism. The container is 3.5 in. long, 2.5 in. wide, and 6.5 in. high. One cubic inch of broth weighs about 0.56 oz. To the nearest whole number, how many ounces does the container hold?

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

rectangular prism dimensions:

3.5 in. long

2.5 in. wide

6.5 in. high

broth weighs:

1 in³ = 0.56 oz

Step 02:

rectangular prism:

volume (rectangular prism) = L * W * H

volume (rectangular prism) = 3.5 in * 2.5 in * 6.5 in = 56.875 in³

container (ounces):

$56.875in^3\cdot\frac{0.56oz}{1in^3}=31.85oz$

The answer is:

32 oz
