Add their rates of filling
to get rate filling together
rate fore each machine =
[ daily quota ] / [ time to fill the quota ]
Let = time in hrs to fill quota
with all 3 machines working

How long would it take to fill the daily quota of water bottles with all three machines working?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The first machine can fill  of the daily quota of bottles in one hour (in each hour). It is its rate of work.

The second machine can fill  of the daily quota of bottles in one hour (in each hour). It is its rate of work.

The third machine can fill  of the daily quota of bottles in one hour (in each hour). It is its rate of work.

If all three machines works simultaneously, they fill 

 =  =  =  = 

of the daily quota of bottles in one hour (in each hour). 

Hence, it will take  hours for the three machine to fill the daily quota of bottles working simultaneously.
