The volume of a rectangular box can be solved using the formula:


V=\text{length}* width* height

In the diagram, the length = 3 1/2 or 3.5 feet, width = 3 1/8 feet, and height = 4/5 foot.

Let's plug in these values to the formula above.


V=3(1)/(2)*3(1)/(8)*(4)/(5)

Let's convert first the mixed number to improper fractions.


V=(7)/(2)*(25)/(8)*(4)/(5)

We can multiply the fractions directly. Numerator to numerator, denominator to denominator.


V=(7*25*4)/(2*8*5)=(700)/(80)

Then, simplify.


V=(700)/(80)=(35)/(4)=8(3)/(4)

Therefore, the volume of the box is 8 3/4 cubic feet. (Fourth Option).
