Unit weight of water
$\gamma_{water} = 62.5 \, \text{ lb/ft}^3$
Unit weight of ice
$\gamma_{ice} = 92\% \, \gamma_{water}$
$\gamma_{ice} = 0.92(62.5)$
$\gamma_{ice} = 57.5 \, \text{ lb/ft}^3$
Volume of ice block
$V_{ice} = (24/12)^3$
$V_{ice} = 8 \, \text{ ft}^3$
Weight of 8 ft3 ice block
$W_{ice} = \gamma_{ice}V_{ice}$
$W_{ice} = 57.5(8)$
$W_{ice} = 460 \, \text{ lb}$ answer

Where does the 12 in 24/12
Where does the 12 in 24/12 comes from??? im soooo confused
It's because you need to
It's because you need to convert the inches to feet.
