1/2204.62=x/80
x=80/2204.62-----> x=0.036 ton
each crate weighs 0.036 ton

step 2
divide 2 ton by 0.036
2/0.036=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

the answer is
</span>the greatest number of crates that can be loaded onto the elevator is <span>55

You should use the ratio so 

2/ 4  = 6.5 / n  

n= 6.5 x 4  / 2 =  13 inches 


2- for two hours ------> four inches of snow 
for x hours -----> y inches of snow 
the equation is 
2/4 = x/ y 

x= 2y / 4 
 for x is the hours and y is the inches
