Answer:


\large\boxed{V=42(7)/(8)\ ft^3}

Explanation:

The formula of a volume of a cube:


V=a^3

a - edge

We have


a=3(1)/(2)\ ft

Convert to the improper fraction:


a=(3\cdot2+1)/(2)=(7)/(2)\ ft

Substitute to the formula of a volume:


V=\left((7)/(2)\right)^3=(7^3)/(2^3)=(343)/(8)=42(7)/(8)\ ft^3
