To convert 48 feet by 20 inches by 20 inches into cubic feet, you need to first convert the inches to feet.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we convert:
- 20 inches to feet: \( \frac{20}{12} = 1.67 \) feet (approximately).

Now, calculate the volume in cubic feet:
\[
\text{Volume} = 48 \, \text{ft} \times 1.67 \, \text{ft} \times 1.67 \, \text{ft}
\]
Let's compute this:

\[
\text{Volume} = 48 \times 1.67 \times 1.67 \approx 133.9 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]

The volume is approximately **133.9 cubic feet**.
