0.067 gallons (to 2 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that since the same amount of vinegar was used in each container, it means that the 1 gallon of vinegar was divided equally to the 15 containers, hence the amount of vinegar used in each dye container is calculated as follows:

total volume of vinegar = 1

number of egg dye containers = 15

if equal volume of vinegar was used in each container:

volume of vinegar in each egg dye container = 1 : 15 = 0.067 gallons (to 2 decimal places)
