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

Answer 1

To determine how many bottles the machine can fill in 8 hours, we first need to calculate the rate at which it fills bottles.

The machine fills 5,400 bottles in 3 hours, so we can find the rate per hour:

\[ \text{Bottles per hour} = \frac{5,400 \text{ bottles}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 1,800 \text{ bottles per hour} \]

Now, we can calculate how many bottles it can fill in 8 hours:

\[ \text{Bottles in 8 hours} = 1,800 \text{ bottles/hour} \times 8 \text{ hours} = 14,400 \text{ bottles} \]

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