To find the volume of the shoebox, we will use the formula V = B × h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

First, calculate the area of the base:

B = length × width
B = (1 1/2 ft) × (3/4 ft)
B = (3/2 ft) × (3/4 ft)
B = 9/8 ft^2

Now, calculate the volume:

V = B × h
V = (9/8 ft^2) × (1/2 ft)
V = 9/16 ft^3

Therefore, the volume of the shoebox is 9/16 ft^3.
