Answer:

  180 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the least common multiple of 20 cm and 45 cm.

GCF

The greatest common factor of 20 and 45 is 5:

  20 = 4·5

  45 = 9·5

LCM

The least common multiple of 20 and 45 is ...

  LCM = 20 · 45 / GCF

  LCM = 20 · 45 / 5 = 180

The stacks of boxes will be the same height when both stacks are 180 cm. There will be 9 boxes in the 20 cm stack, and 4 boxes in the 45 cm stack.
