Answer:

Explanation:

these can be solved in a couple of ways....either by proportions or by finding the unit rate ..... I will do one of each

25 boxes in 2 hrs = x boxes in 8 hrs

25 x

------- = ------ cross multiply

2 8

(2)(x) = (8)(25)

2x = 200

x = 200/2

x = 100 <=== nathan can pack 100 boxes in 8 hrs

========================

13 candy bars weigh 26 oz......that means each candy bar weighs 26/13 = 2 oz. So 35 candy bars would weigh : 35 * 2 = 70 oz <==
