When a truck full of boxes arrives at the Silvergrove Post Office, Miguel unloads the truck by placing the boxes
on a conveyor belt. Miguel's coworkers are impressed with how fast Miguel does his job. Miguel can unload 10
boxes in 5 minutes. How long does it take him to unload 40 boxes?

If Miguel can unload 10 boxes in 5 minutes, that means that he loads 2 boxes per minute. Assuming he he has a constant unloading speed, it would take him 20 minutes to unload all 40 boxes.

I found this by dividing 40 (boxes) by 2 (min per box)
