    Volume=legnth times width times height

    convert all to iimporper fractions first for ease

    1 and 1/3=1+1/3=3/3+1/3=4/3

    1 and 5/8=1+5/8=8/8+5/8=13/8

    4 and 1/2=4+1/2=8/2+1/2=9/2

    multiply them

    volume = (4/3) times (13/8) times (9/2)

    volume = (4 times 13 times 9) / (3 times 8 times 2)

    volume=468/48

    volume=39/4

    volume=9 and 3/4 cubic feet

    Volume (sandbox) = long x wide x tall

    long=4 1/2 ft = (4+1/2) ft = (8+1) / 2 ft=9/2 ft

    wide=1 5/8 ft = (1+5/8) ft = (8+5) / 8 ft=13/8 ft

    tall=1 1/2 ft = (1+1/2) ft = (2+1) / 2 ft=3/2 ft

    Volume=9/2 ft * 13/8 ft * 3/2 ft = (9*13*3) / (2*8*2) ft=351/32 ft³

    351/32 ft³ = (10*32 + 31) / 32 ft³=10 + 31/32 ft³=10 31/32 ft³.

    Answer:351/32 ft³ or 10 31/32 ft³
