Question

A machine in a soft drink factory fills 840 bottles in six hours. How many bottles

will it fill in five hours?​

Answer 1

Answer:

700

Explanation:

in 6 hour it fills 840 bottles

in 1 hour.. 840÷6

in 5 hour..(.840×5)÷6

=700 bottles

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is 700 bottles

Explanation:

You say for 6 hours it fills 840

and now we have to find how much the machine fills in 5 hours. Since we were given the hours, its easier, all we have to do now is to calculate how many bottles are filled in those given hours, so we say:

6hrs=840

5hrs=less  (I'm sayin less because you can see that in 6hrs the machine fills more bottles and that tells us that in an hour less it again fills lesser bottles)

so:6hrs=840

    5hrs=less

5 over 6 multiplied by 840 over 1

which gives us 140 multiplied by 5

Final answer is:

=700
