To load 2400 pounds of crates crew will take around 4.69 minutes.

The ratio is the division of the two numbers.

For example, a/b, where a will be the numerator and b will be the denominator.

Proportion is the relation of a variable with another. It could be direct or inverse.

Given,

Crew can load 4 crates every 1.25 minutes

4 creates ⇔ 1.25 minutes

Given,

1 crate = 160 pounds

So,

4 crate = 640 pounds

So,

640 pounds ⇔ 1.25 minutes

1 pound ⇔ 1.25/640 minutes

To load 2400 pounds

2400 pounds ⇔(1.25/640)2400 minutes

2400 pounds ⇔ 4.6875 minutes.

Hence " To load 2400 pounds of crates crew will take around 4.69 minutes".
