our microwave took a dump today (only 14 years old) have to get a new one but don't have the book on it and the lable does not give the size. so what cu.ft. is a mico with an inside measurement of 13.5 w x 16 deep x 9.5 high? i came up with aout 1.8 cu ft. or did i really mess up

I get the same thing here but I did (13.5/12)*(16/12)*(9.5/12)

oops just redid it and got the same figure, 1.875

(13.5"/12") x (16"/12") x (9.5"/12") = (1.125') x (1.333') x (0.7916') = 1.18710315 cu. ft.

That's 1.18 cu ft and not 1.8 cu ft.
