    Answer:5.001916 pounds of air.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Diameter = 2.8 Inc.

    Radius (r) = diameter/2

    = 2.8/2

    = 1.4 Inc.

    Height (h) = 8 inc.

    The density of the unfilled can (du) = 0.0203 pounds per square inch

    The density of the filled can (df) = 0.1218 pounds per square inch

    Volume of the cylindrical can = πr²h

    =3.142 x (1.4 x 1.4) x 8

    = 49.28

    Density = Mass / volume

    Mass = Density x Volume

    Mass of the can = 0.0203 x 49.28

    = 1.000384 pounds

    Mass of the can filled with air = 0.1218 x 49.28

    = 6.0023 pounds

    The mass of air filled = mass of can filled with air - mass of the can

    = 6.0023 - 1.000384

    = 5.001916 pounds
