First multiply the 3 numbers together to get the volume in cubic inches.

14in*52in*20in = 14560 cubic inches.

Next, convert cubic inches into gallons. (There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon). All you need to do is divide 14650 by 231 to get the answer in gallons.

14560/231 = 63.03 gallons.

Good Luck!

(14 in)*(52 in)*(20 in) = 14,560 in^3
(14560 in^3)*[(1 gallon)/(231 in^3)] = 63.03 gallons
