Explanation:

Step1: Recall the volume formula for a rectangular box.

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular box is given by \( V = l \times w \times h \), where \( l \) is the length, \( w \) is the width, and \( h \) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula.

Here, \( l = 6 \) in, \( w = 9 \) in, and \( h = \frac{3}{4} \) in. So we have:
\( V = 6 \times 9 \times \frac{3}{4} \)
First, calculate \( 6 \times 9 = 54 \). Then, multiply \( 54 \) by \( \frac{3}{4} \):
\( 54 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{54 \times 3}{4} = \frac{162}{4} = \frac{81}{2} = 40.5 \)

Answer:

\( 40.5 \) (or \( \frac{81}{2} \))
