Next cross multiply 150x=5400 Then solve for x 150x/150 5400/150 x=36 It will take 36 minutes to fill 675 bottles
For B- Same steps as A except replace the x in the proportion with 12 and place x in the place of 675 150. x —— = —— 8. 12 Cross multiply 8x=1800 8x/8. 1800/8 x=225 The machine makes 225 bottles in 12 hours
For C- Since you know that the the factory makes 225 bottles and that is 25 percent of what the factory produces, you can make a proportion
225. 25% —— = —— x. 100%
Cross multiply 25x=22,500 25x/25=22,500/25 x=900 The factory produces 900 bottles
