DOWN HERE> GIVE ME BRAINLY PLS

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set this up as a proportion

(1/5) gallon / (2/3) bin = x gallons / 1 bin      cross-multiply

1/5 = (2/3)x     multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 = 3/2

(3/2) (1/5) = x =  3/10 gallons fills the entire bin

Look at it this way each 1/10 of a gallon fills 1/3 of the bingo 3(1/10) gallons fills 3(1/3)bins....or

3/10 galons fills a whole bin
