Question

A bottling machine can fill 300 bottles in 5 minutes. At this rate, how many bottles can be filled in 8 minutes

Answer 1

a bottling machine can fill 300 bottle in = 5 minutes
it can fill bottle in 1 minute = 300/5
=> 60
number of bottle it can fill in 8 minutes = 60×8
=> 480
hence the required number of bottle it can fill in 8 minutes is 480.

Answer 2

Amount of bottles bottling machine can fill in 5 min = 3000
amount of bottles bottling machine can fill in 1 min = 3000/5 = 600
amount of bottles bottling machine can fill in 8 min = 600×8 = 4800
ANS :- hence the required number of bottles that bottling machine can fill in 8 minutes are 4800.
