in this question we are asked to calculate how many widgets a box can hold.
2 hours - 60 minutes / hour * 2 = 120 minutes
after 10 minutes - box contains 25 widgets
this means that it takes 10 minutes to fill - 25 widgets
in 1 minute - 25/10 widgets/minute
therefore within 120 minutes - 25/10 widgets/minute * 120 minutes
the number of widgets a box can hold - 300 widgets
