Answer» Let the number of bottles filled by the machine in five hours be x. The given information in the form of a table is as follows.
The number of bottles and the time taken to fill these bottles are in direct proportion. Therefore, we obtain 840/6 = x/5 x = (840 x5)/6 = 700 Thus, 700 bottles will be filled in 5 hours. |
