Answer: Option 'd' is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Volume of an excavation = 203 cubic feet
Weight of the material = 1200 pounds per cubic yard
So, the weight of the excavation would be
Volume of an excavation × Weight of the material
[tex]=203\times 1200\\\\=243,600\ pounds[/tex]
Hence, the weight of the excavation is 243,600 pounds.
Therefore, Option 'd' is correct.
