The volume of the box is 2512.125 cubic inches.

SOLUTION:

Given that, a shipping box is
$10 (1)/(2) \text{ in wide}, 16 (1)/(2) \text{ in long, and } 14 (1)/(2)$ in high.

We have to find the volume of the box in cubic inches.

Now, we know that,
$\text { volume of box }=\text { length } * \text { width } * \text { height }$

$\text { Volume of the box }=10 (1)/(2) \text { in } * 16 (1)/(2) \text { in } * 14 (1)/(2) \text { in }$

Here
$10(1)/(2) =10.5; 16(1)/(2) =16.5 \text{ and } 14(1)/(2) =14.5$

$\Rightarrow 10.5*16.5*14.5$

$\Rightarrow 2512.125$

The required volume is 2512.125 units
