Using 8 times as many machines in the
same amount of time will fill 8 times
as many liters of milk, so
---------------------
16 machines fill 16000 liters of milk in 2 days
---------------------
Using 16 machines for twice as long
will fill twice as many liters, so
-----------------------
16 machines fill 32000 liters of milk in 4 days
