Answer:

The shoe box is 471.25 in³ (471 and 1/4 in³)

Explanation:

So first you need to know the formula for volume (Length * Width * Height) so we take our measurements and multiply them so I do 14.5 * 5 * 6.5 and get 471.25 or you can do 14 1/2 * 5 * 6 1/2 and get 1885/4 which simplified is 471 1/4 so then you cube the unit so the answer is 471 1/4 in³
