### Calculating Floor Space Occupied by Cubicles in a Preschool Room

#### Problem Statement
The area of the base of a cube is given by the function \( A(V) = V^{2/3} \), where \( V = 3,375 \, \text{in}^3 \) is the volume of the cube. In a preschool room, 18 children's cubicles like the one shown are placed on the floor around the room. Estimate how much floor space is lost to the cubicles.

#### Image Description
The image visually represents a cubicle with a storage capacity of \( V \, \text{in}^3 \). This cubicle is labeled "Mary S." and contains various items. 

#### Solving the Problem

1. **Calculate the Area of the Base of One Cubicle:**
   \[
   A(3375) = 3375^{2/3}
   \]

2. **Total Floor Space for 18 Cubicles:**
   \[
   \text{Total Floor Space} = 18 \times A(3375)
   \]

3. **Convert the Answer from Square Inches to Square Feet:**
   \[
   1 \, \text{ft}^2 = 144 \, \text{in}^2
   \]

#### Questions:
1. **Give your answer in square inches.**
   \[
   \boxed{\text{in}^2}
   \]

2. **Give your answer in square feet. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)**
   \[
   \boxed{\text{ft}^2}
   \]
