To find the available space in the box, we need to calculate the volume of the box. The volume of a rectangular box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height.

Volume = 5 inches * 3 inches * 15 inches
Volume = 225 cubic inches
Therefore, Rosa has 225 cubic inches of space available to fill in the care package.
