Question 394 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 3348 pounds of carbon dioxide. The reasoning is as follows: 1) The cargo space has a volume of 45 ft x 36 ft x 62 ft = 100,440 cubic feet. 2) According to US Coast Guard regulations, a cargo space of this size would require 3.33 pounds of carbon dioxide per 100 cubic feet of space. 3) Multiplying the total volume by the required CO2 density gives 100,440 cu ft x 3.33 lb/100 cu ft = 3,348 pounds of carbon dioxide. 4) The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not match the calculation based on the cargo space volume and the regulatory requirement for carbon dioxide density.
