Question

a bottling machine can fill 300 bottles in 5 minutes at this rate how many bottles can be filled in 8 minutes

Answer 1

480 bottles because 300 divided by 5 is 60 so then you multiply 60 by 8 and you get 480!

Answer 2

480 bottles

Explanation:

It is given that a bottling machine can fill 300 bottles in 5 minutes. So, rate of filling is

`Rate=(Bottles)/(Time)`

`Rate=(300)/(5)`

`Rate=(Bottles)/(Time)=60`

It means a machine can fill 60 bottles per minute.

We need to find the number of bottles that can be filled in 8 minutes.

`\text{Bottles that can be filled in 8 minutes}=8* 60=480`

Therefore, the machine can fill 480 bottles in 8 minute.
