A small box measures 6 in. by 8 in. by 7 in. high. Find the volume of the box.

The volume of a rectangular box (or rectangular prism) is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. The formula is:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]

For this box:
- Length = 6 inches
- Width = 8 inches
- Height = 7 inches

Now, let's calculate the volume:

\[
\text{Volume} = 6 \, \text{in} \times 8 \, \text{in} \times 7 \, \text{in} = 336 \, \text{in}^3
\]

So, the volume of the box is **336 cubic inches**.
