You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5 boxes, each 3%2F4 meters high,
will stack to reach a height of 5%2A%283%2F4%29meters=15%2F4meters .
The ceiling of Mr. Ruvalcaba's storage shed is at a height of
4meters=16%2F4meters .
So, the space between the ceiling and the top of the stack of boxes will bw
14%2F4meters-15%2F4meters=1%2F4meters .
The answer should be in cm, so
1%2F4m%2A%28100cm%2F%221+m%22%29=highlight%2825cm%29 .
