Bricks are going to be packed into a crate which has a space inside of 2.8 m³. The volume of each brick is 1,600 cm³. Given that an exact number of bricks can be packed into the crate, how many bricks can it hold?​

First, we need to convert the volume of the crate from cubic meters to cubic centimeters, since the volume of each brick is given in cubic centimeters:

2.8 m³ = 2.8 x (100 cm/m)³ = 2,800,000 cm³

Next, we can calculate the number of bricks that can fit in the crate by dividing the volume of the crate by the volume of each brick:

Number of bricks = Volume of crate / Volume of each brick
Number of bricks = 2,800,000 cm³ / 1,600 cm³/brick
Number of bricks = 1750

Therefore, the crate can hold 1750 bricks.
