Solution

For this case we have the following rate:


(1)/(5)\cdot\frac{\text{gallons}}{\text{bottle}}

The total amount of volume is 5 gallons

Then we can find the number of bottles in the following way:


\text{Bottles}=\frac{5\text{gal}}{(1)/(5)\cdot\frac{\text{gal}}{\text{bot}}}=25\text{bottles}

Then the total of bottles are 25
