Question

how do you do it ?

Answer 1

Well, just try to see how many crates goes along one of the sides. For example if we stack them lengthwise along the length of the space we get
\[ \frac{2 m}{50 cm} = \frac{200 cm}{50 cm} = 4. \]
So if we stack them lengthwise we can fit 4 along the length of the space. Now do the same with the other sides and when you have found all "crate"-measures multiply them to find the total number of crates that fit in the container. So for example, how many fit along the width of the container?

Yes, 80 should be right.
