Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3/4 of a gallon, and we want to divide it equally among 5 people. So, we can divide 3/4 by 5

3/4 /5

Divide by 5, or multiply by the reciprocal of 5. To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator

<u>Reciprocal: </u>5/1 ---flip---> 1/5

3/4 * 1/5

Multiply across the numerator and denominator

3/20

Each person gets 3/20 of a gallon
