The volume of the box in cubic meters is 0.14 m × 0.22 m × 0.070 m = 0.002156 cubic meters. To convert this to cubic feet, we multiply by (3.28 feet/meter)^3 = 27.648 feet^3/meter^3. Therefore, the volume of the box in cubic feet is 0.002156 cubic meters * 27.648 feet^3/meter^3 = 0.0596 cubic feet. This is closest to choice A, 7.6E-2 cubic feet.
