Start by finding the volume of the tray in in³ by multiplying the dimensions together.
V = lwh

convert depth to inches first

vocaloid · Answer

what I mean is, the width and length are in inches but the depth is in cm

if 2.54 cm is 1 inch, then 4 cm is 4/2.54 inches = 1.57 inches

THEN multiply width, length, and depth to find volume
