1. From the question the machine stamps 36 caps in 10 seconds
In 5 minutes it will cap
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5\text{ minutes = 5 }\times\text{ 60 seconds } \\ =300\text{ seconds } \\ 36\text{ }\rightarrow\text{caps in 10 seconds } \\ x\text{ }\rightarrow\text{caps in 300 seconds } \\ \text{cross multiplying we have } \\ 36\times300=10\times x \\ 10800=10x \\ x=\frac{10800}{10} \\ x=1080 \end{gathered}[/tex]So in 5 minutes, it would stamp 1080 bottle caps
2. Minutes it would take to stamp 24,408 bottle caps?
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1080\text{ }\rightarrow\text{caps in 5 minutes } \\ 24,408\rightarrow caps\text{ in }x\text{ minutes } \\ \text{cross multiplying we have } \\ 1080\times x=24,408\times5 \\ 1080x=122040 \\ x=\frac{122040}{1080} \\ x=113\text{ minutes } \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence it would take 113 minutes to stamp 24,408 bottle caps
