The floor is 4 times 288 times 384 cubic inches, or 442,368 cubic inches. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. Thus, 1 cubic inch = 2.54 times 2.54 times 2.54 cubic centimeters, or 16.387064 cubic centimeters. So 442,368 cubic inches is 7,249,112.727552 cubic centimeters. Each cubic centimeter is 0.000001 cubic meters (1,000,000 cubic centimeters = 1 cubic meter). So the floor is 7.249112727552 cubic meters. You can essentially call this 7.25 cubic meters. You can also determine from this that a cubic inch is 0.0000016387064 cubic meters, which can be used as a shortcut.

How many cubic yards are in 450 sq ft?

Apples and oranges. Without knowing how thick the 450 sq. ft.
area is or how thick you want it to be you can't convert to cubic
yards. A cubic yard has 27 cubic feet. One square foot 3 inches
thick would be 1/4 cubic feet. 4 sq. ft. 3 inches thick would be 1
cubic foot.
450 sq. ft. 3 inches thick is 112 1/2 cubic feet or just a bit
over 4 cubic yards.
450 sq. ft. 4 inches thick is 150 cubic feet or 5 1/2 cubic
yards.
