Question

 please answer ASAP, also, who ever answers if first and has the best explination and work will get the BRAINLIEST crown, and a thanks
Ames left a bin outside in his garden to collect rainwater. He notices that 1 over 4 gallon of water fills 2 over 3 of the bin. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin. Show your work. Explain your answer in words.

Answer 1

Volume of 1/4 gal

= Volume of 2/3 bin

Volume(x gal)

= Volume( 1 bin)

So, (1/4)/(2/3)

= x/1

(1/4)/(2/3)

= x

(1/4)/(3/2)

x = 3/8 (Total balance required to fill the entire bin)

In order to fill the bin, the additional gallons need to be added to the initial 1/4 gallon

Therefore, 3/8 - 1/4 = 1/8 gallons

Hope that helps!!!!
