Answer:

54 boxes

Explanation:

Dimension of crate = 12 in by 18 in by 12 in

Volume of crate = (12 * 18 * 12) = 2592 in³

Dimension of box = 4 in by 2 in by 6 in

Volume of box = (4 * 2 * 6) = 48 in³

Number of boxes of soup that will fill each crate :

Volume of crate / volume of box

2592 in³ / 48 in³

= 54 boxes
