Explanation:

the volume (V) of the container is

V = 10 × 4 × 5 = 200 m³

change the dimensions of the box to m , to be same as container

l = 50 cm = 0.5 m , b = 40 cm = 0.4 m , h = 20 cm = 0.2 m

then

volume of box = 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.2 = 0.04 m³

Number of boxes that can be stored in container is

200 ÷ 0.04 = 5000

thus no more than 5000 boxes can be placed in the container
