Chapter 9, Problem 17CCSR

To determine

To determine the capacity of container.

Answer to Problem 17CCSR

Container can hold around 32 oz.

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

The container is 3.5 in. long, 2.5 in. wide, and 6.5 in. high.

We shall calculate the volume of the container.

Volume = $\text{length}\times \text{width}\times \text{hight}$

Hence the volume is $=3.5\times 2.5\times 6.5=56.875{\text{ in}}^3$

Weight of one cubic inch of broth is around 0.56 oz.

Hence the once that container can hold $=56.875\times 0.56=31.85\text{ oz}\text{.}$

Therefore container can hold around 32 oz.
