Answer 4

    Volume of: ¼ gal = Volume of: ⅔ bin

     Volume of: x gal = Volume of: 1 bin

This is a proportion problem:

           (¼) ⁄ (⅔) = x ⁄ 1

           (¼) ⁄ (⅔) = x

    (1 ⁄ 4) • (3 ⁄ 2) = x

                3 ⁄ 8 = x   ...   total gallons required to fill entire bin


To fill the bin, note that the number of additional gallons that need to be added
to the initial ¼ gal is:

   (3 ⁄ 8 gal)  –  (1 ⁄ 4 gal)  =  (1 ⁄ 8 gal)
