Figuring Weight Of Ice.

A very close estimate Of the weight
Of any block of Ice may be ascertained
by applying the following method
The volume of the Ice in cubic inches
Is obtained by multiplying together the
three dimensions. Dividing the prod
uct by 80 gives the weight of the Ice
in pounds. For instance. If the block
is 10 by 10 by IL inches. its volume
is 1900 cubic Inches; dividing this
product by 80 gives 40 pounds as the
correct weight of the ice.-Popular
