The rectangular crate will be able to carry a maximum of 27 boxes
The crate carries a shape of a cuboid which can be said to be a rectangle in three-dimensional side. To solve this problem, we have to find the volume of the crate and then the volume of the box and divide the volume of the crate by the volume of box.
The volume of a cuboid = L * W * H
This can be calculated as V = 24 * 18 * 15 = 6480cm³
The volume of the box = 8 * 6 * 5 = 240cm³
Number of boxes that can fit in the cuboid = 6480 / 240
Number of boxes = 27 boxes
