Answer: 4800 containers

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that along the length, the ship can carry (1200 / 30) = 40 containers and along the width, it can carry (300/10) = 30 containers.

Since the containers can be stacked four high, the number of containers that the ship can carry at a time would be:

= 40 × 30 × 4.

= 4800 containers
