You can put this solution on YOUR website! The shoebox is 12 inches long by 6 inches wide by 5 inches deep. Each marble takes up 1 cubic inch of space and wieghs 8 grams.
---------------
The volume of the shoebox is 12*6*5 = 360 cubic inches
--------------
Ignoring the complexity of stacking and using 1 cubic inch per marble, that's 360 marbles.
360*8 = 2880 grams
= 2.88 kg
