Answer:

The volume of the box is 3/4 cubic meters.

Explanation:

We know that volume = length * width * height. We have length, width, and height already, so all we have to do is multiply.

5/6 * 1 1/8 * 4/5. First we convert 1 1/8 from a mixed fraction, to give us 9/8, as 8/8 = 1.

5/6 * 9/8 * 4/5. 5 * 9 = 45, and 6 * 8 = 48. 45/48 reduces to 15/16.

15/16 * 4/5. 15 * 4 = 60, and 16 * 5 = 80. 60/80 reduces to 6/8, which reduces to 3/4.
