Jaci wants to build a tool box like the one in the sketch below. What is the volume of the tool box?

Volume = length x width x height

7 1/2  =  7.5                                                           1/4  =  .25

17 3/4  =  17.75                                                     1/8  =  .125

Volume  =  7.5 x 17.75 x 9   =               <---  answer  (calculator time!)
