Answer:

  5.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The presumption in these cases is that the rate of doing work is proportional to the number of machines. So, 4 times as many machines can do the work 4 times as fast. That is, the same job can be completed in 1/4 the time:

  (22 h)(1/4) = 22/4 h = 5.5 h

It would take 5.5 hours to fill the order.
