The shortest height at which the two stacks will be same is 72 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Boxes that are 18 inches tall are being stacked next to boxes that are 24 inches tall.

It means that we will find least common factor of both the boxes;

18 = 2*3*3

24 = 2*2*2*3

LCM = 2*2*2*3*3 = 72

The least common multiple of 18 and 24 is 72, therefore,

The shortest height at which the two stacks will be same is 72 inches.
