    The volume of the box when it's filled to 3 inches deep is 12*8*3 = 288 in³

    The box is filled up to 1.5 inches from the top, that means the box is filled only

    3-1.5 = 1.5 inches deep

    The volume of the box when it's filled to 1.5 inches deep is 12*8*1.5 = 144 in³

    The number of flours saved is 288 - 144 = 144 in³
