Answer: 3/16 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

With any fraction, if you multiply it by its reciprocal, it equals 1. (ex: 3/4*4/3=1, 1/2*2/1=1, 71/256*256/71=1) Thus, 2/3*3/2=1. Because 2/3 of the bin=1/8 gallon, simply multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2 and you will get that 1 bin of water=0.1875 gallons of water, or 3/16 gallons of water.

Hope it helps <3
