If a bottle holds 5 millimeters of perfume, then 2 millimeters of perfume is less than half a bottle. Specifically, 2 millimeters is 2/5 of a bottle. Therefore, we can fill 2/5 of a bottle with 2 millimeters of perfume.

Hope this helps

Explanation:

If one bottle of perfume holds 5 millimeters and we only have two, we would only be able to fill the bottle 2/5 of the way.
