Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

First let's convert everything to the same units, cm.  So then the dimensions of the storage room are 500 cm long, 300 cm wide, and 200 cm high.

That means we can fit 500/10 = 50 boxes across the length

300/6 = 50 boxes across the width

200/4 = 50 boxes stacked high

Therefore, 50x50x50 = 125,000 boxes

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
