Answer:

Each box is 1/5 metres or 0.2 metres deep.

Explanation:

There are 15 boxes, total height is 3 meters

Depth of each box:


15 \: boxes = 3 \: meters \\ 1 \: box = \{ ((1 * 3))/(15) \} \: meters \\ \\ = (3)/(15) \: m \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{= (1)/(5) \: metres}}} \: \: or \: \: { \boxed{ \boxed{ = 0.2 \: m}}}
