One cubic foot of water weighs how many pounds?

  1. 50.3 pounds

  2. 62.4 pounds

  3. 74.8 pounds

  4. 85.6 pounds

The correct answer is: 50.3 pounds

Water has a density of 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, which means one cubic foot of water would weigh 62.4 pounds. The other options provided are incorrect because they are either too high or too low. For example, B is the density of seawater, not pure water, while C and D are significantly higher densities than the correct answer. Therefore, A is the only option that accurately reflects the weight of one cubic foot of water.
