The image that you posted appears upside-down making it impossible to read.
Please repost a correct image. I will tell you that if you don't then you should be banded.
 
Sorry bout it. Didn't mean it make it hard for everyone.

One box contains 4x5xh1 and the other box contains 3x4xh2. Now we know that the two boxes contain the same number of cans. Does this help you?

Post back and if you still need help then you get another hint.
 
Then how did my teacher solve the question, how many cans will constitute the height of the narrow box? I mean she was asking why is the answer whould be 5?
 
One box is 20*h1 and the other box is 12h2. When can they be equal? Think of the LCM( 20, 12)
