The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

V = π(3/4)²(6 1/4)

Simplifying the radius squared:

V = π(9/16)(25/4)

Multiplying fractions:

V = (225/64)π

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

V ≈ 110.7 cubic inches
