Answer: 416 boxes

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of each box and the volume of the storage space.

Since both are rectangular prisms:

Volume = length x width x height

Box of t -shirts = 20 x 16 x 12 = 3,840 cubic feet

Storage = 200 x 200 x 40 = 1,600,000 cubic feet

Next, we have to divide the storage's volume by the volume of each box:

1,600,000 / 3,840 = 416.6 =416 boxes

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
