Hey there!
Let's set up a proportion. Our unknown is x here, and x is defined as how my boxes Nathan can pack in a total of 8 hours.
[tex] \frac{25}{2} = \frac{x}{8} [/tex]
Now, we can cross multiply. That gives us:
2x = 200
Divide both sides by 2 to get:
x = 100
Therefore, Nathan can pack 100 boxes in his eight hour shift.
Alternative method:
In the beginning, you could have simply noticed that if you multiply the 2 hours by 4 you would get 8 hours, and you could just multiply the 25 by 4 to get 100 boxes in 8 hours either way.
Hope this helps!
