The volume \( V \) of a cube can be calculated using the formula:
\[
V = s^3
\]
where \( s \) is the length of a side of the cube.
Given that the side length is \( 1.5 \) inches, we can calculate the volume as follows:
\[
V = (1.5)^3
\]
Calculating \( 1.5 \times 1.5 \):
\[
1.5 \times 1.5 = 2.25
\]
Now, multiply \( 2.25 \) by \( 1.5 \):
\[
2.25 \times 1.5 = 3.375
\]
Thus, the volume of the cube is:
\[
V = 3.375 \text{ cubic inches.}
\]
Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{3.375}
\]
