Sara left a bin outside in her garden to collect rainwater. She notices that 1 over 8 gallon of water fills 2 over 3 of the bin. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin. Show your work. Explain your answer in words.

help plz 7th grade math
So, One-eighth gallon of water will fill two-thirds of the bin. We want the sentence: "x gallons of water will fill three-thirds of the bin." What we do is multiply two-thirds by its reciprocal (three-halves) and make sure we do it on both sides. \[\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x \] \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 1 }{ 8}=x\] \[\frac{ 3 }{ 16 }gal.=x\] So your equation would look like this: \[\frac{ 1 }{ 8 } * \frac{ 3 }{ 2}gal.water=x\]
