    2.83 BTUs / cubic feet were produced

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we are interested in calculating the BTU produced by cubic foot.

    Firstly, we need to calculate the volume of the room. This can be obtained by multiplying L * B * H where L, B and H represents the length, breadth and height respectively.

    Thus mathematically, the volume of the room will be 25 * 32 * 12 = 9,600 ft^3

    Now in the class also, we have 34 students in the room with each student producing 800 BTUs. The total amount of BTUs produced by the students will be 34 * 800 =

    27,200 BTUs

    The amount of BTUs thus produced by cubic feet will be 27,200 BTUs / 9,600 ft^3 = 2.83 BTUs / ft^3
