To find the volume of a box (rectangular prism), you use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Given the dimensions of the box:

  • Length = 9.3 inches
  • Width = 5 inches
  • Height = 3 inches

Now, plug these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 9.3 , \text{in} \times 5 , \text{in} \times 3 , \text{in} \]

Calculating it step by step:

  1. First, calculate \(9.3 \times 5 = 46.5\)
  2. Then, multiply that by 3: \(46.5 \times 3 = 139.5\)

So, the volume of the box is:

\[ \text{Volume} = 139.5 , \text{in}^3 \]

Hence, the volume of the box is 139.5 cubic inches.
