The Volume of the suitcase is given by the formula:

Length x width x height = L X W X H

L= 2 1/3ft

W= 1/3ft

H= 1 1/2ft


\begin{gathered} \text{Volume = 2}\frac{1}{3\text{ }}\text{ x }(1)/(3)\text{ x 1}(1)/(2)ft^3 \\ V\text{ = }(7)/(3)\text{ x }(1)/(3)\text{ x}(3)/(2)ft^3 \\ V\text{ = }(21)/(18)ft^3 \\ V=\text{ }(7)/(6)ft^3 \\ V=\text{ 1}(1)/(6)ft^3 \end{gathered}

Volume of the suitcase is 1 1/6 cubic feet
