recall\ that\implies \cfrac{(a)/(b)}{\frac{c}{{{ d}}}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{{{ d}}}{c}\qquad thus \\ \quad \\ \cfrac{(3g)/(4)}{(2m)/(3)}\implies \cfrac{3g}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?} \\-------------\\ \cfrac{(5g)/(8)}{(1m)/(2)}\implies \cfrac{5g}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{1m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}

so... you tells us, which filling rate is the bigger and thus faster one?
