A fully-loaded rectangular shipping container weighs 30 tonnes. If there 200 rectangular shipping containers and each of the container has dimension of 16ft by 10ft by 20ft, find the total volume of 150 rectangular shipping containers.
150(16*10*20) = ____ ft^3
not sure how the rest of the information is relevant.
To find the total volume of 150 rectangular shipping containers, we need to first calculate the volume of one container and then multiply it by the number of containers.
The volume of a rectangular box is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions of each container are given as 16ft by 10ft by 20ft.
So, the volume of one container is:
Volume = length × width × height
Volume = 16ft × 10ft × 20ft
Next, we calculate the total volume of 150 containers. Since we know the volume of just one container, we multiply it by the number of containers, which is 150.
Total Volume = Volume of one container × Number of containers
Total Volume = (16ft × 10ft × 20ft) × 150
To ensure consistent units, we need to convert the dimensions to the same unit. Let's convert everything to feet:
Total Volume = (16 × 10 × 20) ft³ × 150
Once we have simplified the equation, we can calculate the total volume of 150 rectangular shipping containers.
