The formula of the Volume of a rectangular prism is


V=l* w* h

where

l is the length

w is the width

h is the heigth

in our case we have the next data

l=3 1/3 ft

w=2 1/2 ft

h= 3 3/4 ft

we will change the mixed number into fractions in order to make easier the solution

l=10/3 ft

w=5/2 ft

h=15/4 ft

then we substitute the values in the volume formula


V=(10)/(3)*(5)/(2)*(15)/(4)
V=(125)/(4)=31.25ft^3

then we need to transform the ft^3 into cm^3


31.25\text{ ft}=884901.46\operatorname{cm}^3

884901.46 cubic centimeters
