This is a two-phase state at a given pressure: 

 vf = 0.01 672 ft3/lbm, vg = 26.8032 ft3/lbm

From the definition of quality we get the masses from total mass, m, as

mf = (1 – x) m, mg = x m

The volumes are 

 Vf = mf vf = (1 – x) m vf, Vg = mg vg = x m vg

So the volume fraction of vapor is

Notice that the liquid volume is only about 0.5% of the total. We could also have found the overall v = vf + xvfg and then V = m v.
