The amount of water that will serve the entire container exists 3/10 gallons.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

An expression exists a sentence with a minimum of two numbers or

variables and at least one math function.

Given: 1 over 5 gallons of water serve 2 over 3 of the container.

(1/5) gallon / (2/3) container = x gallons / 1 container

cross-multiplying the above equation, we get

1/5 = (2/3)x

multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 = 3/2

(3/2) (1/5) = x = 3/10 gallons serve the total container

Each 1/10 of a gallon serve 1/3 of the container

So 3(1/10) gallons serve 3(1/3)bins

3/10 gallons serve a whole container.

The amount of water that will serve the entire bin container exists 3/10 gallons.
