Answer:

Each guest uses
(1)/(25) of a gallon of liquid soap bubble at Sara's party.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of guests at Sara's party = 15

Amount of liquid soap bubble used by 15 guest =


(3)/(5)\text{ of a gallon}

Fraction of liquid soap bubble available for each guest =


=\frac{\text{Liquid soap bubble used by 15 guest}}{\text{Number of guest}}\\\\=((3)/(5))/(15)\\\\=(1)/(25)

Thus, each guest uses
(1)/(25) of a gallon of liquid soap bubble at Sara's party.
