To find the volume of a cube, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = s^3 \]

where \( s \) is the length of a side of the cube.

In this case, the side length \( s \) is 1.5 inches.

Now, calculate the volume:

\[ \text{Volume} = (1.5 , \text{in})^3 = 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \]

First, calculate \( 1.5 \times 1.5 \):

\[ 1.5 \times 1.5 = 2.25 \]

Now, multiply this result by 1.5:

\[ 2.25 \times 1.5 = 3.375 \]

Thus, the volume of the cube is:

\[ \text{Volume} = 3.375 , \text{in}^3 \]

Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the volume is:

\[ \boxed{3.375} \]
