A "fifth" is equal to one fifth of a gallon. Therefore, five fifths would be equal to one gallon.

A "fifth" is now sold in 750 ml (where ml means milliliter) containers (although still called a "fifth") and 750 ml can be written as 0.75 L (where "L" means Liter) which is the same as 3/4 of a Liter. Therefore, five 750 ml (0.75 L) containers would be equal to 3.75 L.

An equation for this could look like:

One Fifth of Liquor ~ 750 ml = 0.75 L = 3/4 L, therefore,

5 x One Fifth of Liquor ~ 5 x 750 ml = 5 x 0.75 L = 5 x 3/4 L, therefore,

One Gallon ~ 3,750 ml = 3.75 L = 3 & 3/4 L

or more simply, 5 Fifths of Liquor is considered equal to 3 Liters & one Fifth... or a gallon if they sell your brand that way.
