Question

A shipping container is in the form of a right rectangular prism, with dimensions of 35 ft by 8 ft by 8 ft 9 in. If the container holds 1372 cubic feet of shipped goods, what percent is empty? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

First convert 8 ft 9 in to feet: 9 in = 9/12 = 0.75 ft, so that dimension is 8.75 ft.

Container volume = 35 × 8 × 8.75 = 2450 ft^3.

Empty volume = 2450 − 1372 = 1078 ft^3.

Percent empty = (1078 / 2450) × 100% = 44%.

Answer: 44%.
