To find the density of the shipment, we use the formula:

Density = Weight / Volume.

The volume of the shipment is calculated as (42/12) x (48/12) x (48/12) cubic feet. Thus, Volume = 56 cubic feet.

Density = 500 pounds / 56 cubic feet = 8.9 pounds per cubic foot.

This calculation shows the shipment's density as Option C. Reference: Basic principles of density calculation.
