Question

The container that holds the water for the football team is

1/3
full. After pouring in
11
gallons of water, it is
5/6
full. How many gallons can the container hold?

Answer 1

18 gallons should be your answer

Answer 2

I believe the answer is 18 gallons.

6/9-4/9=2/9

Best Answer: Eighteen.... yes, I read it right. *sigh*

First convert 2/3 into ninths.

2/3 = 6/9

Therefore 2/9 is equal to 4 gallons...
Therefore 1/9 is equal to 2 gallons...
9 multiplied by 2 gallons is 18 gallons.
