Marcus helped fill water bottles for athletes during the school sports meeting.

The capacity of a bottle was  $${\frac{{\mathtt{4}}}{{\mathtt{13}}}}$$    litres.

What is the smallest number of such bottles he needed to hold   $${\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{5}}}}$$    litres of water
 
$${\frac{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{5}}}}\right)}{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{4}}}{{\mathtt{13}}}}\right)}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{39}}}{{\mathtt{20}}}} = {\mathtt{1.95}}$$
