Answer:

Volume of the filling cabinet = 15ft^3

Explanation:

volume = d * b * h

and the filling cabinet is

height = 5ft

width = 18 inch

depth = 2ft

we will first convert the width from inches to feet

where 1 ft -------- 12 inches

(x) ft ---------18 inches

therefore by cross multiplying

12 * (X) = 18 * 1

12 (X) = 18

X = 18 / 12

X = 1.5 ft

so Volume = 2 * 1.5 * 5 = 15 cubic feet or 15ft^3
