Answer: To determine the maximum number of boxes that the forklift can carry in the crate, we need to know the weight of each box and the weight capacity of the forklift. Let's assume that each box weighs 20 pounds and the weight capacity of the forklift is 2000 pounds.

To find the maximum number of boxes, we need to subtract the weight of the crate from the weight capacity of the forklift and then divide by the weight of each box:

Maximum number of boxes = (Weight capacity of forklift - Weight of crate) / Weight of each box

Maximum number of boxes = (2000 - 150) / 20

Maximum number of boxes = 1850 / 20

Maximum number of boxes = 92.5

Since we cannot have a fraction of a box, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the forklift can carry a maximum of 92 boxes in the crate.
