It takes 5 maids working a whole day in order to have 13,320 bottles of milk.
What is the minimum number of maids needed in order to have at least 888 bottles of milk in an hour?
Assumption: Each maid produces the same amount of bottles of milk per unit of time.

Since 5 maids works 24 hours in order to have 13,320 bottles of milk, 5 maids working for 1 hour can make 555 bottles of milk. A maid working for 1 hour can make 111 bottles of milk.
In order to have at least 888 bottles of milk in an hour, the minimum number of maids is 8.
So, the answer is 8.
