Answer:
The weight of the contents in the container is [tex]288\ lb[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the volume of the container
The volume is equal to
[tex]V=LWH[/tex]
substitute the values
[tex]V=(16)(8)(4.5)=576\ ft^{3}[/tex]
step 2
Multiply the volume of the container by [tex]0.50\frac{lb}{ft^{3}}[/tex] to obtain the weight of the contents in the container
[tex]576(0.50)=288\ lb[/tex]
