Answer:

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the rectangular garage can be calculated as:


\text{Volume }=\text{Length }*\text{ Width }*\text{ Height}

If we replace Volume by 480, Lenght by 12, and Width by 8, we get:


480=12*8*\text{ Height}

Now, we can solve the equation for the Height as:


\begin{gathered} 480=96*\text{ Height } \\ (480)/(96)=\frac{96\text{ }* Height}{96} \\ 5=\text{Height} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the height of the garage is 5 m
