Devin's method could be correct, if the two volumes were in ft^3. Then to convert to in^3, he'd multiply by 12^3, as he did.

Devin's calculation method is incorrect. The correct way to find the total volume of two boxes is to multiply the volume of one box by 2, not by adding and then multiplying.

That is a valid point. If the volumes were originally in cubic feet and Devin converted them to cubic inches by multiplying by 12^3, then his method would be correct. Thank you for clarifying.
