<PRE><B>Question 835334</B>
A machine in a factory capped 14 bottles in 84 seconds. How many would this same machine cap in 2 minutes working at the same rate? 
---------------
Use a proportion::
caps/time = caps/time
------------
x/120 sec = 14/84 seconds
------
x = (120)(14/84)
------
x = 20 caps
