Question

The container that holds the water for the football team is 1/6 full. After pouring in 11 gallons of water, it is 2/3 full. How many gallons can the container hold?

Answer 1

(1/6)F +11 = (2/3)F

(2/3)F - (1/6)F = 11

(1/2)F = 11

F = 22 gallons = maximum capacity

22/6 + 11 = (22+66)/6= 88/6 = 44/3 = (2/3)22
