Answer:

900,000 books

Explanation:

book is a three dimensional object there you need to find the ratio of the container to the book. ( units must be the same)

Vcontainer=length*width*height

Vcontainer=2400cm*900cm*800cm

Vcontainer=1,728,000,000cm^3

Vbook=length*width*height

Vbook=20cm*16cm*6cm

Vbook=1920cm^3

no books =Vcontainer/Vbook

no books =1,728,000,000cm^3/1920cm^3

no books=900,000 books
