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

\[
V = s^3
\]

where \( V \) is the volume and \( s \) is the side length of the cube.

Given that the side length \( s = 1.5 \) inches, we can calculate the volume as follows:

\[
V = (1.5)^3 = 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5
\]

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

\[
1.5 \times 1.5 = 2.25
\]

Now multiply that result by \( 1.5 \):

\[
2.25 \times 1.5 = 3.375
\]

Thus, the volume of the cube is:

\[
V = 3.375 \text{ in}^3
\]

Rounded to the nearest thousandth, the volume of the cube is:

\[
\boxed{3.375}
\]
