Answer 2

Because the containers are only able to take 1/5 of a gallon, 30 gallons will fill up 150 containers.

Every container can only take about 1/5 of a gallon of water.

If there are 30 gallons therefore, the number of containers that will be filled is:

= Number of gallons available ÷ Number of containers

= 30 ÷ 1/5

= 30 x 5/1

= 150 containers

In conclusion, about 150 containers will be filled up.
