Preston Hayes · Answer 1

the answer is 5 BTUs/ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

first: 10x15x10 = 1500 ft ^3

second: 500 BTUs x 5 people = 2500 BTUs by all five people

third: 2500 BTUs x 3 hrs = 7500 BTUs per 3 hrs

lastly: divide 7500 BTUs by 1500 ft ^3 to get 5 BTUs / ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

500/hour 1500/3hours

10*15*10=1500

so for every cubic foot is one btu
