Answer:
371 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
First you find how much space is in the container
length is 13
width is 15
height is 10
2 * (15 * 13 + 10 * 13 + 10 * 15)= 950
The total space in the container is 950
Then multiply it by 0.39 to find the weight
950 * 0.39 = 370.5
Round to the nearest pound
.5 rounded is rounded to a whole number
371 pounds
