To find the number of bottles required to empty a bucket containing 5 gallons of water, where each bottle has a certain capacity (let's denote this capacity as \( x \) gallons), you would divide the total amount of water (5 gallons) by the capacity of each bottle.
The equation that represents this situation is:
\[
\text{Number of bottles} = \frac{5}{x}
\]
Since you didn't specify the capacities of the bottles in the options (A, B, C, D), I can't determine which one matches. However, if one of the options resembles the equation above (\(\frac{5}{x}\)), that would be the correct one to choose.
