First, we find the volume of the gel which is a rectangular prism in shape:

V=L×W×H

V=(20)(6)(6)

V=720 cubic inches

Then, we convert this cubic foot Since 1 ft = 12 in, then (1 ft)3=(12 in.)3 or 1 ft3=1728 in.3

So,

V=720cubic inches×1 cubic foot1728 cubic inches=512 cubic foot

We find the weight of the gel by multiplying the density by the volume:

54 poundscubic foot×512 cubic foot = 22.5 pounds
