The volume of a box, or any rectangular three dimensional shape, is equal to the length (L) times width (W) times height(H).
V = (L)(W)(H)
V = (15.5")(15.5")(9.5")
V = 2,282.375 in.³ (cubic inches)
Since there are 1,728 in.³ in one cubic foot ((12")(12")(12")), we can set up a proportion problem:
1,728 in.³ / 1 ft.³ = 2,282.375 in.³ / x ft.³ --- Cross-multiply...
(1,728)(x) = (1)(2,282.375) --- Simplify...
1,728x = 2,282.375 --- Divide both sides by 1,728...
x ≈ 1.321 ft.³ (cubic feet)
ANSWER: A box measuring 9.5" by 15.5" by 15.5" has a volume of (approximately) 1.321 cubic feet.

1.3208 cubic feet.
The box has a volume of 2282.375 cubic inches. (9.5x 15.5x15.5)
1 cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches (12x12x12), so divide 2282.375 by 1728.

first convert to feet, 9.5in/12in X 15.5in/12in X 15.5in/12in
=
~1.321 cu ft
