Sara left a bin outside in her garden to collect rainwater. she notices that 1 over 8 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.
me!

So, about one eighth of a gallon will fill with two thirds of the bin the water is in
We want to figure out the sentence: "x gallons of water will fill three-thirds of the bin."
multiply two thirds by its three halves and then make sure you do that on both sides. its important that you do

1/8 = 2/3x
3/2 * 1/8 = x
3/16 gal. = x
 so you should have it looking like this:
1/8 * 3/2 gal.water = r

If jon had $4.00 then takes away $2.25, then he should have $1.75 left. $4.00 - $2.25 = $1.75 hope this ; )
