Final answer:

The switch box has a volume of 2.5 cubic inches. The correct option is none from above .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a switch box, we need to multiply its length, width, and depth. In this case, the depth of the switch box is given as 2-1/2 inches. To convert this mixed number into a decimal, we can rewrite it as 2.5 inches. Therefore, the volume of the switch box is calculated as follows:

Volume = Length x Width x Depth

Volume = 1 x 1 x 2.5

Volume = 2.5 cubic inches

So, the switch box has a volume of 2.5 cubic inches. The answer does not match any options provided.
