Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a division problem.

990 kg / 69 kg = 14.3

14 × 69 kg = 966 kg

15 × 69 kg = 1035 kg

14 crates weigh 966 kg which is less than 990 kg.

15 crates weigh 1035 kg which is greater than 990 kg.

The greatest number of crates with a combined weight less than 990 kg is 14.
