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.
