A machine in a soft drink factory fills 840 bottles in six hours. How many bottles will it fill in five hours?


The given information in the form of table is as follows:


bottles



840



x



hours



6



5



Let x be the no of bottles filled in 5 hours.


The no of bottles and no of hours are in direct proportion.


Therefore,


840/6 = x/5


x = 700


Thus, 700 bottles will be filled in 5 hours.
