To find the volume of the box, start by converting the 6 inches into feet, using that 1 feet has 12 inches.


6in\cdot(1ft)/(12in)=0.5ft

use the formula of the volume of a box


V=w\cdot h\cdot l

w = 3ft

l = 4ft

h = 0.5ft


\begin{gathered} V=(3ft)\cdot(4ft)\cdot(0.5ft) \\ V=6ft^3 \end{gathered}

The box holds 6 cubic feet of sand.
