A machine can fill 5,400 bottles in 3 hours. How many bottles can it fill in 8 hours?(1 point)%0D%0A1800 bottles

Answer 1

To find out how many bottles the machine can fill in 8 hours, we can set up a proportion.

The machine fills 5,400 bottles in 3 hours:
5,400 bottles / 3 hours = x bottles / 8 hours

Cross multiplying, we get:
3 * x = 5,400 * 8

Simplifying, we find:
3x = 43,200

Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 14,400 bottles

Therefore, the machine can fill 14,400 bottles in 8 hours.
