Answer: 2/3^3

Explanation:

To find the volume of a box, you use the formula, Lenth*Width*Height=Volume

The Lenth is 3 1/2. The width is 1 1/3 and the height is 2/14

Plug the values in formula

3 1/2*1 1/3*2/14

Covert the mixed numbers into imporper fractions so it is easier to solve

3 1/2=7/2

1 1/3=4/3

7/2*4/3*2/14

Reduce 2/14

2/14=1/7

7/2*4/3*1/7=7*4*1/(2*3*7)=28/42

Reduce 28/42=14/21=2/3

2/3 ft^3
