The equation g equals three fifths times m represents the proportional relationship between the number of gallons of water (g) used by a washing machine and the amount of time (m) the machine runs. According to this equation, for every minute the washing machine runs, it uses three fifths of a gallon of water. Alternatively, for every gallon of water the washing machine uses, it runs for three fifths of a minute. In simpler terms, if the machine runs for 1 minute, it will use 3/5 of a gallon of water. Similarly, if it uses 1 gallon of water, it will run for 3/5 of a minute. Another way to interpret this equation is that for every gallon of water the washing machine uses, it will run for approximately 8 minutes.
