To find the number of 580 cm³ bags of sugar that will fit in the packing crate, we need to first determine the volume of the packing crate.

Volume of packing crate = length x width x height
= 1.6 m x 0.9 m x 1.5 m

Converting units to cm:
1 m = 100 cm

Volume of packing crate = (1.6 m x 100 cm/m) x (0.9 m x 100 cm/m) x (1.5 m x 100 cm/m)
= 160 cm x 90 cm x 150 cm
= 2,160,000 cm³

Now, let's find how many 580 cm³ bags of sugar can fit in the packing crate:
Number of bags = Volume of packing crate / Volume of each bag
= 2,160,000 cm³ / 580 cm³

Using long division, we get:

3724.137931034 = 3724 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the correct answer is 3725.
