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
