The box is 8 ½ inches wide, 5 inches long and 5 ½ inches tall. What is the volume of the box in cubic inches?

To find the volume of the box, you multiply the three dimensions together:

Volume = length x width x height

Volume = 8 ½ inches x 5 inches x 5 ½ inches
Volume = 42.5 cubic inches x 5 inches x 5.5 inches
Volume = 937.5 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the box is 937.5 cubic inches.
