For this question I think you can find the volume of the storage room and then divide that by the volume of the boxes going into the storage room to see how many boxes can fit into it.

448 cubic meters in the storage area divided by 1.25 cubic meters per box equals 358.4 boxes.

you might need to put 358 since it would be weird to only have. 4 of a box.
