Question 1047144: A length of steel tubing is described as follows:
Seamless
Length: 50 ft.
Outside diameter: 2 in.
Thickness: 3/8 in.
Weight: 325.4 lb.
Calculate weight per ft. of length.
I don't think 6.508 lbs. is the answer (325.4 / 50).
Unsure how to proceed. Thanks.

============
Seamless is not relevant.
Thickness and diameter are not relevant.
----
It weighs 325.4 pounds, and it's 50 feet long.
To find pounds per foot, divide the pounds by the feet.
lb/ft = 325.4/50 = 6.508 lb/ft
