These numbers represent length, width and height? If so, perhaps the weight is related to the volume. Maybe finding the volume of each case would be a good place to start.

anonymous · Answer

i found that 6'=4 pounds

anonymous · Answer

And what is the volume of the other case?

anonymous · Answer

i dont know what (") stands for in 7" for the other case

anonymous · Answer

I was about to ask if that was a mistake.
' refers to feet.
" refers to inches.

anonymous · Answer

i got 30 multiplied by .583333

anonymous · Answer

How did you get that answer?

anonymous · Answer

i converted 7 inches to foot

anonymous · Answer

Convert the feet into inches to keep whole numbers rather than decimals. The calculations will be easier. Later you can revert the values back to feet later.
