Answer:

16 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a division problem.

-Let x be the number of crates that will fit in to the box car.

-To solve x, we divide the volume of the boxcar by the volume of one crate:

$V=lwh\\\\l=length\\w=width\\h=height\\\\V_{bc}=20m\times 3m\times 4m\\\\=240\ m^3\\\\V_c=lwh\\\\=5m\times1.5m\times 2m\\\\=15\ m^3\\\\\therefore x=\frac{V_{bc}}{V_c}\\\\=\frac{240}{15}\\\\=16\ crates$
