Answer:

12.8 grams per 1 package

102.4 grams per 8 packages

128 grams per 10 packages

Explanation:

we can take

25.6 ÷ 2

to get the unit rate (number of grams per 1 package)

25.6 ÷ 2 = 12.8

12.8 grams per 1 package

multiply 12.8 by 8 to get the amount of grams per 8 packages

12.8 * 8 = 102.4

102.4 grams per 8 packages

we can set up a proportion to find the number of packages for 128 grams

let p = number of packages

12.8/1 = 128/p

12.8 = 128/p

multiply by "p" on both sides to get rid of the "p" in the denominator

12.8*p = (128/p )* p

12.8p = 128

divide by 12.8 on both sides to isolate "p"

12.8p = 128

÷12.8 ÷12.8

p = 10

128 grams per 10 packages
