@Michele_Laino here's the question...

michele_laino · Answer

I see....

michele_laino · Answer

I think that in order to fill completely our bin are necessary:
$$\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }$$
$$\frac{ 3 }{ 10 }$$ of rainwater

michele_laino · Answer

because if 1/5 gallon of rainwater fills only 2/3 of our bin than, in order to fill completely our bin are necessary (3/2)*(1/5)=3/10
