Best answer

Let the number of bottles filled by the machine in five hours be x.

The given information in the form of a table is as follows.

Number of bottles 840 x
Time taken (in hours) 6 5

The number of bottles and the time taken to fill these bottles are in direct proportion. Therefore, we obtain

840/6 = x/5

x = (840 x5)/6 = 700

Thus, 700 bottles will be filled in 5 hours.
