9/30 cubic feet

Multiply the base area times the height to find the volume, which is the amount of packing material required.

First, multiply the numerators, or the top numbers. 9 * 1 = 9

Then, multiply the denominators, or the bottom numbers. 10 * 3 = 30

So, the amount of packing material required is 9/30 cubic feet.
