Final answer:

The volume of the cube is 1/27 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cube, we need to know the length of its edges.

Since the edges of the cube in this question add up to 4 feet, each edge has a length of 4/12 = 1/3 feet (since there are 12 inches in a foot). The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of one edge by itself three times.

So, the volume of this cube would be (1/3)^3 = 1/27 cubic feet.

4ft=48 inches and there are 12 edges on a cube, so each edge is 4 inches. And the volume is 64 cubic inches.
